00:00Referees today have a big task ahead of them, no doubt.
00:04Marcus Di Oliveira, a referee in Major League Soccer for many a year.
00:09And so, away we go.
00:11It's Caden Clark looking to interrogate Miami in the early stages to them.
00:14Here post it goes. Messi giving the ball away. Owusu!
00:21Jaws dropped. It's turn.
00:24Montreal lead against the might of Miami.
00:30Well, we mentioned CF Montreal wanting to come out and be aggressive playing against a team coming off the Club World Cup that had four days off midweek.
00:46And it's a mix-up there between Messi and Wigandt as to who is going to...
00:51Far flank.
00:53Against the half a yard he needs and Windeyed.
00:56Is there a response now from Miami?
00:57The pass a little too much for Jordi Alba to latch on to.
01:01Yeah, there's a plan to begin with.
01:02Yeah, Xavier Mascherano two-time UEFA Champions League winners against that athlete of Egypt.
01:08The penalty.
01:09So, Messi with the ball in.
01:12Punch to...
01:13Through now, into Miami as the ball is flushed across.
01:16It's deflected behind for a corner.
01:17He gets...
01:21Montreal can take a breath.
01:24Now then the Barcelona boys are in here.
01:26Alba!
01:27Off the woodblock.
01:29Towards Messi again.
01:30Messi!
01:31And deflected into the path of Jonathan Secois.
01:34And a big sigh of relief for CF Montreal.
01:39Here comes CF Montreal.
01:43Pierce.
01:44Miami.
01:44Here comes Lionel Messi.
01:46Messi!
01:47Cast down.
01:47Boussou.
01:48Piet's desperate to keep the move alive.
01:51From Ascara banning and interrogating.
01:53Sealy could go all the way!
01:55Via a deflection into the path of the goalkeeper.
01:58He's looked more confident lately, hasn't he?
02:01Messi!
02:02In behind!
02:03Very good save from Jonathan Secois.
02:05And just look how much it means to the local boy!
02:07Corner for Miami!
02:10The Montreal in transition are having problems right now.
02:14Here they are again.
02:15Just out of the reach of Clark.
02:17Very nice.
02:17Messi and Coe find a way through.
02:19Messi towards the back post this time and behind.
02:21And Coe.
02:22Pierce with the ball across.
02:24Too much.
02:25A few bit of patience into their game.
02:27And then when the opening comes...
02:30Yeah, but that's the moment.
02:32And now it's Lionel Messi!
02:33He towards the cup.
02:37To one of the country all forward.
02:39And then...
02:39You know, in the starting line-up graphic, it's...
02:41Looks like a nine, but...
02:44Suarez...
02:45In behind and...
02:46Here!
02:47Suarez couldn't gather it.
02:49Give him the ball away, though.
02:52Very nearly had a second stab at it.
02:54Did Luis Suarez.
02:58Well, thread towards the edge.
03:00And Secois does just about enough.
03:02On several occasions.
03:03To have a major mistake.
03:07A major mistake from Lionel Messi, which here thus far.
03:10Allende...
03:11Goal!
03:14And just like that...
03:15Into Miami, back on level terms.
03:18Tenth goal of the campaign in all competitions.
03:29For Tadeo Allende.
03:31Just as we were talking about CF Montreal, trying to limit the touches of Busquets.
03:36Dante Sealy now, down into the challenge.
03:38Half-hearted appeals for a penalty.
03:41And in fact, the whistle blown the other way.
03:42Here's Bouguay of all people.
03:49Can't be Bouguay on the edge, down under the challenge, and the referee says no.
03:52Jordi Alba to do the rest.
03:57Although the ball given away.
04:00Messi down under the challenge.
04:02And a free kick now, in Lionel Messi territory.
04:05It will be Messi and Alba.
04:20Clark.
04:21Sealy!
04:21Could, really should, have been two.
04:29Yeah, it's a really good break from CF Montreal.
04:32Messi!
04:34Brilliant!
04:34My word, what a goal!
04:37It's just typical Lionel Messi.
04:41Even here, even now, he is beyond compare.
04:47Miami lead.
04:51Yeah, it's a simple pattern, a direct ball, and a great win there from Suarez to release
05:01Messi in time and space.
05:02And from here, on the back pedal, you can see he's only got his mind on one thing.
05:07Getting it to that.
05:08The challenge.
05:09Sealy.
05:11Still going on.
05:11Wide areas they go.
05:14Angled ball in from the far side, but half-time interval.
05:16Messi.
05:17Very good stance and a free kick awarded to Inter-Miami.
05:25That's the way they began the first half and the second and see the intent.
05:30Clark.
05:31Abouzu!
05:34Pushed up another by Astari.
05:36Lovely build-up by Cienf-Montreal.
05:38That's much better, but it actually begins with Campbell, who wins this ball, and plays
05:42it first-time forward, to allow time and space for Clark to turn.
05:46And this is what they...
05:47The effort towards goal was Craig to the far post.
05:52Back from whence it came, and pierce for the ball in.
05:56Abouzu!
05:56Got it all wrong!
05:57And then on the doorstep, into the path of Astari.
06:01Major moment for Cienf-Montreal, and they fail to take it.
06:06It's a professional.
06:08Here they come again.
06:09Sealy looking to get in behind.
06:10Providence Park for Caleb Porter.
06:13Angled ball played in is...
06:15Sealy!
06:16This is the exact spot they want to find Sealy in.
06:27Lovely angled ball in, and Sefard came to punch.
06:30Back across goal, and goals!
06:31And the wrong side of the post.
06:35Miami and Suarez with the golden opportunity.
06:39Suarez starts on the near post, he's not even thinking...
06:41Segalvia let's fly!
06:42Oh, wow!
06:46Segalvia pounces in pink again!
06:53Miami with a picturesque goal!
06:55And now leading by three goals to one!
07:02This goes...
07:03Off that last chance from Sealy, and just shows you how quickly...
07:07Miami go from one side to the next.
07:10It's a direct play, which has been the formula...
07:13This entire...
07:14Lionel Messi!
07:15My word!
07:16What a goal!
07:22Lionel Messi!
07:24Magnifique!
07:25In Montreal!
07:26You can see the ball coming in to Suarez.
07:48Allende!
07:50Off the woodwork and cleared away!
07:51Miami within a whisker of five!
08:00Campbell, not allowing him an inch.
08:02Now for Owusu, to have a turn from him!
08:04Owusu!
08:05Very good save from Astaire!
08:09Owusu's efforts go unrewarded!
08:12He wants a penalty!
08:15He wants a penalty!
08:16Still Messi!
08:17Suarez!
08:18Very good save from Segoire!
08:22He's kept the scoreline the way it is today!
08:25It's rare to say that...
08:27In a match that's 4-1 in the 70th...
08:30Swinging ball!
08:31Owusu showed him interest again!
08:34Craig with the ball in!
08:35Campbell showed him interest!
08:36To Miami again!
08:38Messi wants more!
08:39A little too much on...
08:40Messi!
08:41And the effort towards goal!
08:43It's empty!
08:45Another ball in from a Montreal perspective!
08:47Thing...
