00:00Subaru Park is the stage for this one and many of the fans in attendance as well as 12 of the union players who are on the roster tonight were part of that Lawson Leagues Cup semifinal back in the summer of 2023 in Philadelphia facing Messi on their home ground for the first time since that night the supporter camp is brought to you by Lowe's visit Lowe's for the ultimate assist on your next
00:30project one of the marquee events on the Pennsylvania sports calendar is Messi's arrival to this quaint but boisterous stadium on the bank of the Delaware River where most in attendance tonight love what they have seen to this point Philadelphia union building a two to nothing lead they have only dropped points from a winning position once this season that was in the stadium two weeks ago conceding a second half
00:59stoppage time goal versus Columbus in what was a two to draw I'm not sure there's such a thing as a desperate moment in the third fourth week of May but it's got that feeling for Inter Miami now Danny and you know what I understand where you're coming from but I would disagree to a certain extent I think it does have a desperation moment you know it's it's the losses but it's the manner of the performances
01:25and I think that is a huge thing here we go with Suarez over the ball and Inter Miami the highest scoring team in NLS last season can they find a view and find a way back into the game tonight no changes for either side to start the second half but remember Inter Miami forced to make its first substitution
01:51with the injury with the injury to Yannick Bright earlier tonight Redondo is the one sub utilized by Javier Mascherano to this point tonight
02:00and I think that the reason in my mind that the performances and the results can be quite alarming is that if you look at this time last year any team that beat Inter Miami they rode their look
02:11you look at Orlando last week they didn't they didn't need to have any look you look at Philadelphia union so far they've not needed to have any look
02:18you know they've been the better teams and that that's concerning I think from from a neutral when you're covering the games you look at it and go
02:25wow more often than not Inter Miami if they just draw or they get beat they've been really really unfortunate we haven't seen that as of yet
02:32Messi sees it booted back the other way by McConaughey one shot on target in that opening half
02:41for Inter Miami this is Redondo
02:44he's not just in his first season with Inter Miami he's in his first season as a professional coach
03:00his experience prior to this with the Argentina youth national teams in the Olympics as well
03:05and he replaced the man who was an MLS coach of the year finalist last season Tata Martino trying to get the squad on the right track once again
03:12trying to get the squad on the right track once again
03:18here's Allende has a step on Lukic and plays out wide Noah Allen Suarez out wide Jordi Alba to work this across
03:30into Miami with two players in the danger area as this ball takes into Fletcher now it's a corner for the Herons
03:37yeah and Allen does really well but it's really good defending at the far post from Wagner
03:41I think sorry it's Alba that puts it in just see Wagner great header
03:46so that far post because you had Frey and Allende coming to put the finishing touches on it
03:51Messi at the river end curls this in that's punched away by Reckon cleared off the line a second time
04:02Harriel there
04:06perfectly positioned for the union Jordi Alba will opt to play back
04:14and now Ustadte
04:24Oscar Ustadte and Inter Miami have now conceded multiple goals in six of their last seven games in all competitions
04:35Vasilev for Philadelphia
04:39plays ahead Dantley into the attack
04:42Mikel Uah
04:44floats up to the far post this ball stays in play Jordi Alba there from Miami
04:51and he wins the throw
04:53just see
05:00Uah here
05:02I'm old school
05:03I'm not too sure how keen on seeing those things in the game because it can it could definitely wind up the opposition
05:09just got to make sure that
05:11you know you're doing the right things at the right time
05:14did you try the Rabona in your day?
05:16do you know what I did one time in training you know what happened I was out for three months I told my medial ligament
05:20I thought there was a back story to where you were going with this
05:23that's the reason I tell people not to try because I can't do it or if I do I end up in hospital
05:27throw in Philadelphia
05:36Lujan headed away
05:39pumped in a second time and grabbed by Ustadte this is the win probability
05:46the probability of the Philadelphia Union getting their tenth win of the season tonight
05:52I'll remind folks they are coming off a nine win season in the entirety of 2024
05:59and they can eclipse that if they hold on to this lead tonight
06:04but the thing is and Bradley Connell would have said it to his team
06:07do not give them an inch
06:10because if they get that one goal then they will be hungry
06:12they've got so many world-class players in this team
06:15they concern 2-0
06:17up to 2-2 and 3-2 in no time
06:19and that's what Bradley Connell has said to his players
06:21do not get complacent
06:23the second half
06:24there's Glesnace to boot it away again
06:30Fray
06:34line-up reveal in this second half
06:39it's starting 11 still on for Philadelphia
06:41Redondo the run change from the start tonight
06:43subbed on for the injured Yannick Bright earlier
06:46Subbed on for the injured Yannick Bright earlier.
06:51Bright hobbled off slowly in obvious pain.
06:55And his status for the coming weeks
06:57will be an important talking point for this inter-Miami side.
07:02Club World Cup for them begins on the 14th of June
07:05versus Egyptian side Al-Ali.
07:08In the meantime, Busquets.
07:11Edge of the 18.
07:12Alba is there.
07:14Jordi Alba.
07:16Harriot there.
07:18How for a throw.
07:19Harriot did really well there because he didn't commit himself.
07:22He made Alba, made the move.
07:24Just going back to Bright,
07:25you know, you talk about the world-class plays in this team.
07:27He's up there as in terms of importance.
07:29To this starting XI.
07:30Such a big player for them.
07:33Pumped in.
07:34Messi in the vicinity of that.
07:37Lunging forward to his right is Andrew Rick.
07:40Once again, Wagner, the left-back,
07:42tracks him all the way across.
07:44And it's so important.
07:45Ended up hurting himself.
07:47Slightest bit.
07:48He was able to track Messi all the way.
07:49Allende with a high boot.
08:02Danley shakes it off as play continues.
08:08Lukic.
08:08Harriot into space for Jovan Lukic.
08:19And now Vasilev.
08:23Here's Wagner.
08:24Barribo got twisted up.
08:31Headed by Redondo.
08:35And poked back neatly by Busquets.
08:45Here's Messi.
08:46The release for Allende.
08:49Here comes into Miami.
08:51Take it here.
08:51Allende to play it ahead.
08:53Frey racing on to this.
08:54Wagner back to the vent.
08:56Kai Wagner able to see that ball out.
08:58Terrific job by Wagner.
09:00Yeah, and he's brilliant.
09:01Brilliant defending from Wagner.
09:02Because what happened is McEno just showed his naivety a little bit.
09:06Messi dropped deep.
09:07McEno went all the way with him.
09:08He wasn't able to get back in time.
09:10So it's so important that Wagner was able to deal with the situation.
09:13He did.
09:13And then just trying to get the fans going as well.
09:15But great defending and great positioning.
09:28Vasilev.
09:30Near side.
09:31That's off Frey and out for a Philadelphia throw.
09:33Look at the difference in sprints between these two teams.
09:37Which tells part of the tale here.
09:39Certainly tonight Philadelphia first in the league and Miami last.
09:42And that's why we said at the start of the game it's so important control for both teams.
09:47Philadelphia Union want chaos.
09:49Into Miami they don't run as much as you quite rightly said.
09:51Because they like to control the game in possession.
09:54Now Philadelphia Union all of a sudden the way that they control the game is by running all over you.
09:58And if you're a team that's not used to covering that distance then it's going to be very very difficult.
10:02And I think that's what Philadelphia Union did really well in the early stages.
10:06They stamp their authority in this game and they've not allowed Inter-Miami to get into their rhythm as of yet.
10:11Here is Brousquette still with plenty of game in front of us.
10:23Tackled by Harry Aldis is out for an Inter-Miami throw.
10:26I think when you look at the intensity of Philadelphia Union as well.
10:30Going into this game.
10:31Eight of their last 11 goals that they'd scored at home were in the second half.
10:34They get stronger as the game goes on.
10:36They outrun opposition.
10:38And they get opportunities.
10:39We've just seen here that's Fargan who's pushing really high once again.
10:43This ball taken by Ostade with Barribo.
10:46Pressuring.
10:51Given back to Philadelphia.
10:53Barribo out wide.
10:54Sullivan was there out for a Philly throw.
10:55That's all about the pressing.
10:57Forget the ball.
10:58They're not in possession there.
10:59But what they do is just hurry into Miami.
11:02And they make them make mistakes.
11:03And then they have to take the safety option.
11:05All of a sudden Philadelphia Union find themselves with a throw and on the attack.
11:15I think as well.
11:16When you look at Inter-Miami.
11:18They're very, very good in possession.
11:20I think their problem is out of possession.
11:22When they lose the ball.
11:23There's not that intensity to go and win the ball back.
11:25So their board teams can take a touch.
11:28Get their head up.
11:29And play the ball exactly where they want to play.
11:31When you're a high position team like Inter-Mami.
11:34You have to be in a position.
11:35When you lose the ball to counter-press.
11:36If you're not.
11:37Then you're wide open.
11:41Too far for Frey.
11:44This ball is played out.
11:46Ten minutes gone by in the second half.
11:48The Matchday Live scores are presented by AT&T.
11:52Roushnack on a penalty for a Seattle win today.
11:55The Galaxy remain winless.
11:57They surrendered a 95th-minute winner from San Diego.
12:00Charlotte surprising Columbus.
12:03Montreal surprising LAFC.
12:05Orlando started Duncan McGuire tonight.
12:08He has a goal for the Lions who are roaring in this stretch.
12:11Trying to go 12 straight in the league undefeated.
12:14Sunday soccer has two games in the afternoon.
12:19New York City at home versus Chicago Fire.
12:22And Sunday night soccer to cap it all off tomorrow night.
12:24Oh, does Atlanta need a win?
12:27Tough order of business for them.
12:28Cincinnati, the visiting side.
12:30That's going to be a great game.
12:32Because as you're quite rightly say, Atlanta, they need a result.
12:35Worrisome for the Union here is Danley Jean-Jacques writhing in a bit of pain.
12:43Yeah, Mikel Uwe, he's not happy.
12:46He believes it was a late challenge on Danley.
12:49He goes straight up to protest with the referee.
12:54One in the foul.
12:55He's just been everywhere, Danley.
12:57What a player he's turning out to be.
12:59He is a player few and far between a box-to-box midfielder.
13:03You either see attacking midfielders or defensive midfielders.
13:06He has the lot.
13:08I think the Union collectively have the league's attention right now.
13:15Again, first place in the Eastern Conference coming into tonight.
13:19Their goal differential, including the two goals tonight,
13:22that's now at plus 15, the best in the league.
13:26They've eclipsed Vancouver Whitecaps.
13:28And we have Danley Jean-Jacques down a second time.
13:32Yeah, well, there was a coming together with Alba and Danley.
13:34That's where Uwe wasn't happy.
13:36And then there's another run forward from Danley.
13:37And there's another coming together again with Alba.
13:41It's obviously, it seems to be off the ball.
13:43But it's those two players running back towards their own goal.
13:46They're just seeing the signs of frustration.
13:49I think the initial one was a late one from Alba.
13:51And then it's just happened again.
13:52Danley with Alba.
13:58They just have to be careful because we did see this against Orlando a couple of times.
14:02Frustration starting to come through.
14:03And, you know, when we spoke to Bradley Carnell, he knows Inter Miami got some outstanding plays.
14:08But what you can't do is get frustrated against them.
14:11You have to try and flip the switch and make them get frustrated.
14:15And I think that's what you're starting to see a little bit of at the moment.
14:18Here's Frey.
14:22Multiple substitutions coming for Inter Miami as we watch Ian Frey win it back from Vasilev.
14:29Taken here by Redondo.
14:31Marcella Wagand.
14:33Talasco Segovia poised to come in now and hope to change things for Inter Miami as we watch Jordi Alba.
14:39The next goal is going to be massive in this game.
14:41I don't see it ending 2-0.
14:43I think if Inter Miami get it, then they'll think that it's game on.
14:46If the Philadelphia Union get it, then it's most certainly game over.
14:50Here's Messi.
14:53Who skets.
15:07Messi.
15:08Quick release ahead.
15:10Alba able to play this into the 18.
15:12There's Glusnest.
15:13Defending successfully again.
15:16There's a few comings.
15:17There's a few comings together.
15:19There's a few comings together around the pitch now.
15:21It's just been another one off the ball.
15:22Mccania with Suarez.
15:25Really starting to heat up this game.
15:27Again, Mccania with Suarez just off the ball.
15:34Suarez is not happy.
15:35He's just trying to get Mccania just to bite.
15:37This is where, you know, the naivety of Uford times can get the better of players.
15:42And Mccania just has to hold his ground.
15:44Suarez is the player on yellow card accumulation warning.
15:47If he picks one up tonight, he'll be unavailable in midweek.
15:52Lujan.
15:54Busquets.
16:00Montreal's next game home for Montreal.
16:03It's a two-to-one match.
16:16Tadio Allende with his fifth goal of the season.
16:20It ties Messi for the team lead in MLS.
16:26More importantly, just what the doctor ordered for Visor in Inter-Miami.
16:31Oh, it is most certainly.
16:33We said there would be another goal.
16:34If Inter-Miami got it, it was game on.
16:36If Philadelphia Union got it, it was game over.
16:38But Inter-Miami get it, and it's Allende just getting in the right position.
16:42You just see, just gets in between Wagner and Mccania.
16:46It's a really good header.
16:47Just goes at it with power.
16:49Rick doesn't have much chance.
16:50It's a lovely ball in from Allen.
16:53And Inter-Miami, they find themselves back into the game now.
16:57It'll be interesting now to see which way both teams go.
17:01Do Philadelphia Union look to try and hold on to the lead?
17:04Or do they keep going as they have been doing?
17:06Because we know one thing is for Cern.
17:08Inter-Miami, they will start to ask more questions.
17:11Marcelo Wagan and Segovia come on immediately after the goal.
17:15So, two sets of fresh legs now for Mascherano's side.
17:31Ian Frey subbed out, as was Tomasz Aviles.
17:35And we'll watch Lukic play this ahead.
17:37Mikel Uwe, unable to get on that as it's taken here by Ustadi.
17:43Mikel Uwe, unable to get on that as it's taken here by Ustadi.
17:43Here's Wagan.
17:57Here's Wagan.
18:00Broken up by Wagner.
18:01And this is Redondo.
18:09Suddenly high drama now at Subaru Park as Messi plays back.
18:14Here's Allen.
18:21Messi.
18:21Booted out to midfield.
18:31Tracking back Lujan for Inter-Miami.
18:34And the tendency when you're under a little bit of pressure is to drop deeper.
18:37Can't do this against this Inter-Miami team.
18:39Plus, it's just trying to get his teammates off the pitch.
18:43Just seems to be the case at the moment.
18:46Messi finds space.
18:48Lionel Messi taking off his foot.
18:50Terrific defensive play.
18:55McConaughey to break it up.
18:56Uwe, unable to find the loose ball.
18:58It rolls out.
18:59Inter-Miami will have it on a throw.
19:01Now Bradley Carnell goes to his bench.
19:04His first change.
19:05He'll get the extra midfielder into the game.
19:08Jesus Bueno will come on to replace Mikel Uwe.
19:11We've just seen in the last five or so minutes, Inter-Miami just starting to get a control in that midfield area.
19:25And I think with Bueno there now, along with Lukic and Danley.
19:28Danley you'll probably see at times maybe playing a little bit higher.
19:32I just need to try and get control back in that midfield area.
19:35Redondo with a poor ball, give it away.
19:49Cariel will have it on a throw.
19:52Just looking at Philadelphia Union.
19:53Looks like it might just be more of a 4-1, 4-1.
19:57With Bueno just sitting in front of the back four.
19:59And Danley, Lukic's that a little bit higher.
20:02I think Bueno's role will just be to make sure the centre-backs don't get dragged out of position.
20:06If Suarez drops off, can he pick him up?
20:07If Messi goes into his area, can he also take him as well?
20:10And plays Gregorio.
20:18Referee's giving the throw to Inter-Miami.
20:23This is Hueygat.
20:29Throw-in violation from the Philadelphia Union as we watch Wuhan.
20:34Federico Redondo, Hueygat.
20:40I think when you look at the substitution as well with Gueno coming on, I think a lot
20:51of people might look at that as more of sort of a defensive substitution, but you can flip
20:55it the other way and say, okay, a center forward in Uwe has gone off, but what it's done enables
21:00Lukic and Danley to probably press that little bit higher and help Sullivan, help Baribo
21:05and help Vasilev to a certain extent where you're defending with a five and attacking
21:09him with a five, but being able to press with that extra man.
21:12I think Danley has been more of an attack-minded player this season than most people projected
21:17coming in.
21:18This is Baribo who has another goal tonight, his MLS leading 12th of the year, and he is
21:25in great discomfort.
21:27Yeah, I don't think he's happy about where he might have potentially been grabbed.
21:31Just watch Ray Gantz, right hand.
21:35I don't think we need to say any more.
21:39He's still hot, Ty Baribo.
21:46And it's all real for Baribo.
21:49Only one of those 12 goals has been scored on a penalty.
21:53His goals per 90 ratio, the best in MLS, regardless of minutes played.
21:58The intercept by Blessness here.
22:01Blessness to send Philadelphia Union the other way.
22:05Allen racing back.
22:07It's a throw-in for Inter-Miami.
22:09The heat map is presented by IHG.
22:1819 brands, 6,000 destinations.
22:22Download the app today.
22:23That's the man, Danley Jean-Jacques.
22:25Yeah, and he is a box-to-box midfielder.
22:27And I just think this game is going to open up even more.
22:31He might just have something to say within this game as in terms of the space that he could
22:35run into because he really does go everywhere.
22:38And as I said previously about Philadelphia Union, they do score a lot of goals in the
22:41second half.
22:41And I think Danley has a big part to play in that.
22:43If he sees the space, he's going to make the runs into it.
22:47Sullivan with a ball that was too difficult for Harriot on the far side.
22:53Played in quickly by Inter-Miami.
22:55Marcelo Weigant.
23:03Argentine has started the night on the bench.
23:06Goes long in the direction of Allende.
23:11Instead, McConaughey for Glesnys.
23:16Here's Ariel.
23:21Barribo slipped.
23:23Taken back by Inter-Miami.
23:25Messi.
23:28And now Segovia.
23:30Jordi Alba.
23:34He's an incredibly attack-minded group on the team field right now for Inter-Miami.
23:39Union will have to earn it here in the final minutes.
23:43This ball, top of the 18, played out by Philadelphia.
23:46They'll concede the corner, and Segovia's racing over to take it.
23:49Yeah, McConaughey just lost.
23:52Lost where he was, so taking no chances.
23:54Just puts it out for the corner.
23:57Second-half possession.
23:58Seventy percent for Inter-Miami to this point.
24:01They work it for Messi.
24:03Lionel Messi, about 25 yards from goal.
24:06Plays out wide.
24:07Jordi Alba works it across.
24:09Tracked down by the Herons.
24:12This is Suarez.
24:15His service repelled by the Union.
24:18Lukic able to fight off the challenge at Messi.
24:22Still Jovan Lukic able to work it into a good space, and they'll win the throw.
24:26Baribo is still furious.
24:29Yeah, he's not happy with that challenge, Eva.
24:31I think he feels that Wigan just followed through on the challenge.
24:34Obviously, there's previous between those two.
24:40Just see, just he makes a chance there.
24:41Just a little bit of the follow-through.
24:43Baribo sees who's done it, like I say, after coming together with a pair of him not so long ago.
24:49Just reacts.
24:50One, two, three, two, one.
24:54Makanya.
24:56Intercept by Redondo.
25:03Carnell arguing for a handball on the touchline.
25:07The Union win possession anyway.
25:10This is Danley with a good maneuver.
25:12Danley, Jean-Jacques, off to the races the other way.
25:15Plays ahead.
25:16Sullivan is there.
25:17Broken up by Lujan.
25:18Got there in time.
25:19And the Union will have it on the corner.
25:21And that's the space that's going to be there for Danley now.
25:24It's going to be the space now because the game is becoming so stretched.
25:27You just look at Danley.
25:28He's got one thing in his mind.
25:29He leaves Alba in his wake, and he just sees so much ground that he can run into.
25:33He's so good at it.
25:35One thing I would just say, this pass is just a little bit heavy for Sullivan,
25:38but good cover in from Lujan.
25:39But I think we'll see more of that from Danley now because the game,
25:43I can say he's becoming really, really stretched.
25:45Kai Wagner on the corner.
25:50Some 21 minutes plus stoppage time.
25:57Subaru Park, the first place union against the most interesting study in the league right now,
26:04perhaps Inter-Miami.
26:05Wagner curls this in.
26:11Borrebo up to challenge for it.
26:14Pumped out to the middle of the park.
26:16Lukic is there, but Messi is as well.
26:19Lionel Messi plays this into space.
26:21Here comes Jordi Alba.
26:22Five into the attack for Inter-Miami across the field.
26:26Alba works it across.
26:27Tie game!
26:29Flag is up.
26:30The flag immediately went up.
26:31Oh, Segovia thought he leveled the match.
26:36Initially, it is really, really good play from Messi.
26:39He just picks the pocket of Lukic, obviously, in Miami.
26:43He will want this looked at.
26:45It's really good play.
26:47Initially, you just see Messi.
26:48Lukic has no idea where he is.
26:50Then the pink shirts just fly forward.
26:53And it's just all about Segovia.
26:54Does he make the run too late just as the ball's crossed in?
26:57Yeah.
26:58It's a great decision from the assistant referee.
27:01He's in an offside position.
27:02Good call as well.
27:04But it's really good play initially from Messi.
27:06Lukic has no idea where Messi is when the corner is cleared.
27:11Messi's just waiting in Lukic's blind spot and then just picks his pocket.
27:17It is Segovia.
27:1917 games without a goal.
27:21For a brief moment, thought the ice was broken there.
27:29Last goal came March 2nd.
27:31You can just feel the shift in atmosphere, the nerves, the tension.
27:38You know, for the first, what, 55, 60 minutes, it was celebration.
27:44It was go.
27:45Now, all of a sudden, the nerves are starting to set.
27:47And I can tell you as a player as well, that feeds to the players.
27:50When the fans start to get nervous, it can feed through to the players as well.
27:53Sullivan, tracked by Redondo.
28:00Sullivan draws the attention of two defenders.
28:02Does well, wins the deep throw.
28:17They'll leave for Harriel.
28:19Off Allende, shot by Bueno, still alive in the 18.
28:32There's Barribo!
28:34Ty Barribo, second of the game!
28:39Inter-Miami looks to the side.
28:41They look for help from the assistant referee.
28:44But the call here is goal for Barribo.
28:47Oh, lucky 13.
28:54And the Union extend the lead to 3-1.
29:04Just as the momentum seemed to shift the other way.
29:07Well, Inter-Miami, they're complaining they believe that it's offside.
29:10A lot of their players stop, but it's that man, Danley.
29:12It's that man, Danley, that gets himself involved.
29:14Obviously, VAR, they'll check to see whether it's offside at the moment.
29:17The goal has been given.
29:19Let's just have a look at the replay.
29:21It's the long throw that comes in.
29:22And just watch Danley's position.
29:23He comes and he gets involved in a second.
29:25Then it's all about Barribo.
29:27Is he in an offside position?
29:29And that is such a close call.
29:32Such a close call.
29:33We know that if it's not clear and obvious,
29:36the ruling on the field will stand.
29:38And it's such a tough call, that one.
29:41Maybe between the blades of the grass,
29:42but it's such a close call.
29:44That if, if it's not considered a clear and obvious error,
29:49then it will be a goal.
29:51And quite rightly, the goal has been given.
29:53Kevin Stott had his look.
29:54And the lead, back to two.
30:05For a Philadelphia side, seeking its 10th win.
30:08Quentin Sullivan runs on to this.
30:10The reinforcements are coming,
30:12and that's booted away by Busquets.
30:17Now Segovia to take charge for it to Miami.
30:20Nourced back for Allen.
30:37Bradley Cornell coaches up Bruno Damiani on the sideline,
30:42poised to be the next sub for the Union.
30:44In the meantime, Busquets ahead for Messi.
30:47Met immediately by Vasilev.
30:50No one on this Union team has warped harder,
30:53and he runs on to this ball, plays ahead.
30:55Here's Burribo.
30:56Has the option to his left.
30:58Push down in the box.
30:59Let's see what the referee, Drew Fisher, has to say.
31:03It's all good, says the referee,
31:05as it's taken by Ostadi.
31:07Well, nothing as of yet.
31:09But you can see why Philadelphia Union
31:11are a team that score a number of goals in the second half.
31:14They just overpower the opposition.
31:17It's exactly what they do in this scenario.
31:19Bueno, we've just seen, he gives a free kick away,
31:22and he gets the yellow card for his troubles.
31:24But Philadelphia Union, they want the penalty.
31:26They believe that Vasilev was pushed.
31:28VAR will definitely have a look at it.
31:30And here's the replay.
31:31Just Vasilev, just watch Luan.
31:33It's all about whether there is enough contact there.
31:37And then you think Daniel's going to put the ball
31:38into the back of the net.
31:39This will give us a better angle.
31:41It's just Luan with that left hand there.
31:44And I think what you have to look at in this situation,
31:46does it stop Vasilev from getting the shot on goal?
31:49And the question could be yes,
31:50but then you have to look and think,
31:52is there enough of a push in the back,
31:54just as we see the yellow card that Bueno got.
31:57But Philadelphia Union,
31:58their energy just goes up in the second half.
32:01No penalty.
32:03Damiani into the game to replace Vasilev.
32:06That last transition by Philadelphia
32:09was his final action of the night.
32:14There was a yellow card to Bueno
32:16that you alluded to.
32:17Another caution out of the pocket of Drew Fisher here.
32:19I think that was for Alba.
32:23There's so much going on in this game.
32:26It really is end-to-end.
32:28He's not happy.
32:33Yellow card to Jordi Alba
32:35for descent is the word we get.
32:46Or what to McConaughey.
32:50Allen back for into Miami.
32:52Chester down by Allende.
33:02Messi.
33:05Good ball for Jordi Alba.
33:08Here's Busquets.
33:10Fafa Pico.
33:11Next off the bench for into Miami.
33:13They have only one substitution window left.
33:16Here's Weygaard.
33:17Able to call this ball in.
33:18Defended by the Union.
33:22Played ahead.
33:23Damiani the man up high.
33:25He'll slow things just enough.
33:27Wait for fellow attackers.
33:29Damiani sees it played out by Lujan for a throw.
33:38Fafa Pico to replace
33:40Gonzalo Lujan.
33:48So Masciadano has used
33:50his three substitution windows.
33:53This is the group
33:54that will finish.
33:55Yep.
33:55It is.
33:56And they are going to be open.
33:58You look at it.
33:58You've got Weygaard.
33:59You've got Alba.
34:00And you've got Allen.
34:00They're your three real traditional defenders.
34:02The rest of the midfielders
34:04are attackers.
34:04Wants to lose.
34:12Down two.
34:13Desperately seeking a win.
34:15Team in a bad way.
34:16One win in its last seven
34:18in all competitions.
34:22One that's now allowed
34:2312 goals
34:26over its last five games.
34:28This is Allende.
34:29Allende.
34:39We got Federico Redondo.
34:43Redondo.
34:53For Rebo will play this long
34:54in the direction of Sullivan
34:56and taken here by Ustadte.
34:59and taken here by Ustadte.
35:01Quickly ahead by Allen.
35:05Into Miami needing two to level.
35:09Segovia.
35:11Right side Weygaard.
35:26Allende.
35:27Met by Makanya.
35:30It's coming back the other way
35:31for a goal kick
35:32and this exclusive
35:34net cam replay
35:35is brought to you by
35:37T-Mobile.
35:39There's a really quick break
35:40in Philadelphia Union.
35:41Just see the ball
35:41comes in to Vasilev.
35:43And then
35:44he's just caught
35:45slightest.
35:46I think it's by
35:46Lujan.
35:48A new start.
35:49He stops Danley.
35:50Madden to the goal tally
35:51as well.
36:03Here's Damiani.
36:06Bariba
36:06with a pass behind
36:08Quinn Sullivan.
36:12Damiani slowly back
36:14to his feet
36:14as we watch Segovia.
36:15and now Messi.
36:29This is Busquets.
36:32First involvement for Picole.
36:34Here's Jordi Alba.
36:39Suarez.
36:41Top of the 18
36:41met by Glassness.
36:45Messi again.
36:48Off the foot of Suarez.
36:53Now Busquets.
36:56Out wide.
36:57Jordi Alba.
36:57Messi quick touch.
37:01There's Blessness
37:02to clear it out again.
37:03Lionel Messi on it quickly
37:05as it's played back
37:06for Noah Allen.
37:11Nine and a half
37:12plus stoppage time to go
37:13at Subaru par.
37:15Baribo
37:15in the path of that pass.
37:17Good maneuver
37:18by Busquets
37:19to keep this alive.
37:20Now Alba
37:21plays it across.
37:23Wigat
37:24time to save this.
37:26Marcelo Wigat
37:27floats this ball in.
37:29They get a head to it.
37:30Suarez in the danger area.
37:32That's all.
37:33Out for another corner.
37:34Yeah and
37:35I think Philadelphia Union
37:37I don't think it was a corner
37:38to be honest with you.
37:39I think it came off Suarez yet.
37:40The referee has changed
37:41his decision.
37:42He's given the goal kick
37:43for Philadelphia Union.
37:44Just when you look at this
37:45Inter-Miami team
37:46they started the season
37:47incredibly well.
37:48They had the best defense
37:49in the league.
37:50Probably about 10 minutes
37:51left in this game now.
37:52And so far
37:53they have conceded
37:5418 goals
37:55in their last 6 games.
37:56And there's still
37:57probably 10 plus minutes
37:59of this
37:59to go.
38:00And
38:00the goals
38:02the one thing
38:03that will be frustrating
38:04for Mascherano
38:06is that
38:07the goals that we've seen
38:09recently
38:09they all could have been
38:11avoided by communication
38:12by doing the right thing.
38:14And this is what I'm saying
38:15it's not been difficult
38:16for teams to score
38:17against Inter-Miami.
38:18That will be a huge frustration
38:19for Mascherano
38:20because as a coach
38:21there's only so much
38:22you can do
38:22when the players
38:23go onto the pitch.
38:24you have to trust them
38:25to take care
38:26of the situation
38:27defensively
38:27and it's been some
38:28really, really poor errors
38:30that you wouldn't expect
38:31of players
38:33of this quality.
38:36The efforts
38:37to correct this
38:38some have been visible
38:41some not.
38:43Noah Allen
38:43dropping back
38:44to a left back position
38:46to defend that side
38:47that's been
38:48a sore spot
38:49for Inter-Miami.
38:50Does there come a point
38:52where you have to go
38:52to Busquets
38:53and say
38:53you're the most likely
38:55person to solve this
38:56for us
38:56and organize in the back?
38:58Yeah, I think
38:59you know
38:59I think this team
39:01is probably better suited
39:02to a back three
39:02at the moment
39:03than you have that
39:04extra insurance
39:04if you want to play
39:05a high line.
39:06Messi
39:06out wide
39:07Suarez operating there
39:09Suarez able to play
39:11this in
39:11there's a push
39:12in the 18
39:13that ball cleared away
39:15and a second time
39:16booted back
39:17into the Miami half.
39:18Because the way
39:18you look at things
39:19at the moment
39:20for Inter-Miami
39:20to win games
39:21they've got to score
39:21four goals every game.
39:23And yes
39:24you've got the greatest
39:24ever player on the pitch
39:25but even if it's a tall
39:26last for players like you.
39:28Allen
39:29played it across
39:32it was deflected out
39:34and now the corner
39:35for Inter-Miami
39:36in the 84th minute.
39:40Philadelphia
39:41trying to see out
39:42this multiple goal lead
39:43on their 10th win
39:45of the season.
39:48Messi
39:58sends this ball in
40:02that's a touch too far
40:03for the onrushing

40:52what the next month
40:54or so holds
40:54for Quinn Sullivan
40:55called
40:56to the U.S. roster
40:57and a player
41:02who will likely
41:02think big
41:03as this is played
41:04here by
41:04Fafa Pico
41:05Pico
41:07sends it ahead
41:08Alba
41:09walks it across
41:10defended out
41:12by the Union again
41:13and Sullivan
41:16walking it farther
41:17and farther away
41:18from his own goal
41:19Damiani
41:25tangled up
41:26with Busquets
41:26no foul
41:28says Drew Fisher
41:29here's Allen
41:30Messi
41:44top of the box
41:46return for Leo Messi
41:47tripped up by
41:48Glessness
41:49and the card
41:50out of the pocket
41:51of Drew Fisher
41:52free kick
41:53for Inter-Miami
41:55is this
41:55their shot
41:56to make it a one goal
41:57game again
41:58it's a yellow card
41:59for Glessness
41:59Miami plays
42:00Suarez in particular
42:01not happy with
42:02Hariel either
42:03because when the foul
42:03is given
42:03just watch Hariel
42:04he comes in there
42:05just smashes the ball
42:06back
42:07just hits Messi
42:08don't think there's
42:08any intent in it
42:09well this is an
42:10opportunity
42:11just see the reaction
42:12from Suarez
42:13don't think there's
42:14any intent from him
42:15this is a huge moment
42:16Frankie Westfield
42:19will be subbed on
42:20here for Quinn Sullivan
42:22this is the final
42:23substitution window
42:24for Bradley Carnell
42:25as well
42:26just look at his goal
42:29absolutely brilliant
42:30you can see what he's
42:31doing
42:31he's just using
42:32Allen as a shield
42:33to sort of bend the
42:34ball around
42:34make sure that
42:35Ustari
42:36is unsighted
42:37so here's Messi
42:45from just off dead center
42:5187th minute trying to get
42:54his team back with
42:56and one
42:56Messi
42:57free kick
42:58what a strike
42:59it's a 3-2 game
43:01Messi magic
43:03hold on to your seat
43:06and a frantic finish
43:08now
43:08just outside Philadelphia
43:11it's an amazing free kick
43:12because if you look at the
43:13goalkeeper Rick
43:14he's showing him the
43:15other side
43:16he's protecting that side
43:17and he still
43:18finds the top corner
43:20Rick doesn't seem to be
43:22happy
43:23I don't think
43:23with the wall
43:24this is just a wonderful
43:26strike
43:27let's go back
43:29at the last minute
43:30this is the angle
43:31probably the one
43:32you can see Rick
43:34he's trying to cover
43:35that area
43:36he's allowed the wall
43:37to be over a little bit
43:38to the other side
43:38and I don't think
43:39it's the greatest of walls
43:40that he's lined up
43:41because he's not covered
43:42the specific area
43:43where Messi's
43:44then put the ball into
43:45but a wonderful free kick
43:46with so much power
43:47offside flag
43:49run up on the
43:50Philadelphia Union
43:51and here comes into
43:53Miami
43:54now looking for an
43:55equalizer
43:56played back
43:57Fafapico
43:57Westfield who's just
44:08come into the game
44:09plays ahead
44:10Danley works it across
44:11going for the hat trick
44:12Burribo and the stop made
44:14Danley
44:20he is
44:21unbelievable
44:22he just runs on
44:24batteries
44:24it's incredible
44:25he outpaces Allen
44:26then outpaces
44:27Busquets
44:28and plays a wonderful
44:29ball into Burribo
44:30he thinks he's got
44:32his hat trick
44:32but it's a really
44:33good save
44:34from Astari
44:35with his left foot
44:36but Danley
44:37just comes into his
44:38own when the game
44:39stretches
44:39Wagner
44:44from the far side
44:45coaches
44:49love to see that
44:5089th minute of a game
44:52unbelievable
44:53what an engine
44:53Wagner on the eggs
44:59swear
44:59over the head
45:02of all
45:02intended and
45:03unintended targets
45:05and here we go
45:06the match momentum
45:07is presented by
45:09Old Spice
45:10it's flipped
45:12back and forth
45:13but right now
45:1489th minute
45:15the union
45:16trying to see this
45:17out
45:17up by one
45:18here's
45:19Messi
45:19Busquets
45:23Messi
45:27with a terrific ball
45:28Allende
45:29to run on to this
45:30Tadio Allende
45:31late arriving
45:32Fafa Picoult
45:33couldn't get a foot
45:34to it
45:34we've seen some
45:35great defending this
45:36evening
45:36that was up there
45:37with the best of them
45:38as well from Harriel
45:39challenge on the near
45:42side
45:43Weigand
45:43decommits
45:44the foul
45:45Marciadano
45:46was only a few feet
45:47away
45:48he
45:48does not agree
45:49he's clever from
45:50Burribo
45:51just puts himself
45:51in between the ball
45:52and Weigand
45:53but this
45:53defending
45:54from Harriel
45:55who's now playing
45:56sort of as a third
45:57centre back
45:58outstanding defending
45:59because you're just
46:00thinking Pico's
46:00going to put the
46:01finishing touches
46:01on it
46:02Damiani
46:02from the sharp
46:03angle
46:04flag is up
46:05played ahead
46:19quickly
46:20Messi
46:20headed away
46:23by McConaughey
46:24trying to see that
46:25ball out
46:26near side
46:26into Miami
46:27and instead
46:29comes to Busquets
46:30in the middle
46:31of the park
46:31we've hit 90 minutes
46:35added time
46:39is presented
46:39by Audi
46:41strap yourself
46:42in for five
46:43more minutes
46:44great entertainment
46:49tonight
46:50Busquets
46:50Albaugh
46:54Settled by Weigand
47:01I don't think the
47:03scoring's done yet
47:04Steve might be
47:05tempting fate
47:06but I just don't see
47:07it being over
47:07as of yes
47:08in terms of the goals
47:09Segovia fends off
47:11one challenge
47:11the return
47:12into the box
47:13and looking for a penalty
47:15as Inter Miami
47:16a furious Luis Suarez
47:18but it's settled here
47:19by Rick
47:20no call
47:20it's that Matt Danley
47:22one minute
47:22he's assisting goals
47:24the next minute
47:24he's getting in the way
47:26of Messi
47:26I don't think this
47:29I don't think it's enough
47:30to look at that
47:31and say that that's a penalty
47:32I think it's coming together
47:33more than anything
47:34Inter Miami
47:39curiously enough
47:40has not
47:42attempted a penalty
47:43yet
47:44this season
47:45this is
47:46match day 15
47:48in their 14th game
47:50of the season
47:51yellow card
47:52is issued here
47:53by Drew Fisher
47:53well
47:54VAR are going to
47:55take a look at this
47:56I don't know
47:57Redondo
47:58is he fortunate here
48:00is there intent in it
48:01the replay will tell us
48:02more about it
48:03but
48:03yellow card
48:04straight away
48:05from the referee
48:05just watch Redondo
48:06just watch his
48:07watch his elbow
48:08he sees it
48:09Damiani
48:09VAR are going to
48:11take a good
48:12look at this
48:13I think the force
48:15that's
48:15that's been shown
48:16from Redondo
48:17he will be walking
48:18back
48:18he'll be concerned
48:19he's shaking his head
48:20he's only got a yellow
48:21card at the moment
48:21VAR they'll take
48:23a good look at this
48:24it's all about
48:26Redondo
48:26does he know
48:27what he's doing
48:28in this scenario
48:28is he trying to
48:30just
48:30fend
48:31Damiani
48:33off
48:33or is the intent
48:34and that's what
48:35VAR will be
48:36taking a look at
48:36I'm not saying
48:38he's going to
48:38but he won't
48:39surprise me
48:39if this was
48:41to be upgraded
48:41the VAR
48:43they take a look
48:43at it
48:44whether they take
48:44any more action
48:45or not
48:45Kevin Stott
48:46having his look
48:47with his crew
48:48in North Texas
48:49let's take another look
48:51it's just this one here
48:55he knows that
48:56Damiani's coming
48:57into him
48:57and he just
48:58puts that right
48:58elbow out
48:59appears the free kick
49:10will be taken
49:11by the union
49:12and Andrew Rick
49:14last thing
49:15into Miami
49:15would need
49:16after losing
49:16Bright to injury
49:17is to see
49:18Redondo suspended
49:19for midweek
49:20as well
49:20and I think
49:21that's what
49:21they're looking at
49:22here
49:22are they looking
49:22is there any
49:23intent
49:23and I think
49:24the thing
49:24that goes
49:25in his favour
49:25is that he
49:25didn't have
49:26a look
49:26at Damiani
49:27and a lot
49:28of the times
49:28when you see
49:29that
49:29here's Danley
49:30lays this off
49:32Lukic
49:32trying to put it away
49:33and put it off
49:34the bar instead
49:35that should have
49:40been game over
49:41is it two central
49:42midfielders
49:43combining
49:43Lukic
49:44and Danley
49:45two highest
49:47players up the pitch
49:48trying to put the
49:49finishing touches
49:49and end this game

51:02scored
51:03in two
51:04and a
51:04half
51:04months
51:05and he
51:06might have
51:06salvaged
51:06something
51:07for
51:07Inter
51:08Miami
51:08tonight
51:09it's a

51:24falls
51:24a little
51:24bit
51:24fortuitously

51:26nothing
51:27fortuitous
51:28about the
51:28finish
51:28just when you
51:29thought it
51:30was potentially
51:30game over
51:31we said
51:31there could
51:32be another
51:32goal
51:33in these
51:33last few
51:34minutes
51:34and into
51:35Miami
51:35they have
51:36come back
51:36from the
51:37brink
51:37once again
51:38to level
51:38things up
51:39your sense
51:40of the

51:47hero now
51:47we've
51:47exceeded
51:48the five
51:48minutes
51:49there was
51:50the delay
51:50within
51:53second
51:53half
51:53stoppage
51:54time
51:54here's
51:58Lukic
51:58Jovan
52:01Lukic
52:02Glessness
52:03Jacob
52:05Glessness
52:06maybe a
52:08last chance
52:08for Philadelphia
52:09Wagner
52:10works it
52:10across
52:11Westfield
52:12on moments
52:14ago
52:14to track
52:15this down
52:15for Philadelphia
52:16Westfield
52:17plays it
52:18across
52:18and the
52:18shot
52:19wouldn't
52:19go
52:19Danley
52:20had the
52:21chance
52:21to win
52:22it
52:22I should
52:23have
52:23done
52:23he should
52:24have
52:24done
52:24he's been
52:25brilliant
52:26it's the only
52:26thing that he's
52:27done wrong
52:27but he has to
52:28score there
52:29he doesn't even
52:30hit the target
52:31regardless of
52:32anything
52:33what a game
52:34this has been
52:34for the
52:47out of what a game
52:48what a game
52:49what a game
52:49it's been a
52:50brilliant game
52:50he's had
52:51absolutely
52:51everything
52:52and it's been
52:52an absolute
52:53privilege
52:53to call it
52:54here's
52:55and with that the final whistle that's our answer this is only the second time this season
53:01bradley carnell's team have dropped points from a winning position and what to make of
53:08inter miami again bleeding three more goals but the heroic comeback down two and they salvage a
53:15point this game from inter miami the good the bad the ugly you just don't know what you're
53:21going to get it's always a treat and a surprise they'll have a game Wednesday they'll have another
53:30on Saturday on their home ground three three is your final at Subaru Park
53:39this came so close to winning it deadly this is the player of the match yeah and
53:50you just look at Baribo always in the right place at the right time unusual for him to take three
53:57touches in the box his movement just bamboozled bamboozles defenders and just watch again here
54:03this was the one was the potential offside but they just keep it alive and Baribo just gets himself
54:08into a position where he's unmarked and at that point you think it's game over inter miami had
54:13other ideas but another great performance from Baribo
54:18Philadelphia Union denied their tenth win of the season they're nine three and three after this result
54:27the first half was all they dreamed it could be and after Baribo's second goal three to one was the
54:38scoreline and you thought that was the kiss of death for into miami it was not they score the final two on the
54:46evening the pole level we're back in a moment
