What followed was a masterful display of determination and skill from Morgan. In his second stint with New York Red Bulls, the player showed a renewed bond with the team, evidenced by his connection with teammates and his ability to capitalize on opportunities. At the 51st minute, he scored his second goal of the match with a quick finish after an assist from Dante Vanzeir, his former teammate. And to cap off his memorable performance, Morgan completed his hat-trick at the 70th minute, showing striker's instinct by capitalizing on another assist from Vanzeir.

But it wasn't just Morgan's individual performance that shone in this encounter. New York Red Bulls displayed a collective performance to behold, with Dante Vanzeir's contribution standing out. The Belgian player was the architect behind four of the team's goals, becoming the first player in the club's history to achieve this feat. His vision and precision in passing were crucial in dismantling Inter Miami's defense and providing goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates.

After a disheartening defeat to Columbus Crew the previous week, this dominant victory came as a balm for New York Red Bulls. The team showed resilience and determination in the face of adversity, restoring the confidence of the fans and reigniting hopes of a successful season. The coach and players acknowledged the importance of learning from past mistakes and focusing on what they do best.

It's undeniable that Lewis Morgan is on fire in this early season. With five goals in five games, he leads the race for the MLS Golden Boot, showing that his absence in the previous season due to injuries hasn't affected his ability to make a difference on the field. His goal-scoring ability and confident mentality are assets for New York Red Bulls, and his promising partnership with Dante Vanzeir could be the key to the team's success throughout the season.
