00:00Miami's only won one of the last five in MLS regular season play, that was August 16th, that is intriguing, fully loaded with Roostak and Morris trying to get back to full strength.
00:15Underway, the League's Cup final rematch from South Florida, it's Inter-Miami hosting the Seattle Sounders.
00:22And his teammates in spots and often times when we go through that smell, it's better to be safer than sorry.
00:29Breit takes it away, now Jordi Alba coming forward, Jordi Alba!
00:34And he loses possession because Yannick Breit steps into midfield and he steps right into the path of the greatest of all time, Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba.
00:44And Sergio Busquets is being allowed to just float in these spaces, keep facilitating possession.
00:51Messi sliding it, Breit across, Breit gets the touch and gets back on it.
00:57And all the players are now in better spots to facilitate something in the final third.
01:03Now, you would think that Frey would try to hit that back post.
01:06Minunku trying to get past Frey and he does! Minunku cutting it into the middle, Allen sends away, Ferreira settles, he has some time.
01:19Ferreira takes a touch and then fires it right into Oskar Ustari.
01:23It was the Orlando game, I should say, three weeks ago.
01:30As this is over the top from Messi, he settles! Messi! Patient! Messi! Ha! Post!
01:40But the timing of the run, knew who's slow to recognize that, he keeps him onside. But then the composure...
01:48And at 10-10, Shohei Otani and the Dodgers host the Giants for a West Coast rivalry battle, shooting in this Friday on Apple TV+.
01:55Jordi Alba, Messi!
01:58He don't put pressure on a player like Jordi Alba. He can pick up his head and then Messi can come short or come off the backside.
02:10It's just, it is what it is. The legs are gone. He can't cover any space. He can facilitate possession. He's got great vision.
02:18But he's not gonna win a ton of tackles, so you're almost forcing Frank DePaul to do a little bit more extra.
02:23Messi comes inside, Ande! Back to Messi! Messi! Big save, Rye!
02:28Keeps Seattle in the game.
02:33Messi with the right foot, that's back post, that's in.
02:41Rothrock wins that as the Rosario in the middle, he's gonna knock it down to himself. Rothrock! Good save, Ustari!
02:47Got down quick!
02:49And that's gonna bother Javier Mosh around. I know Allen's gotta be stronger here. He's gotta win this.
02:54Paul Rothrock running right through it.
02:59That they should 100% make sure the bandage of the raft is as strong as possible.
03:05This ball whipped in and headed in!
03:08Ian Freymore aggressive steps in front and buries the header. Almost had one in the first half.
03:14He gets one in the second.
03:19But you have to think they'll go about as long as they can.
03:22The story from Miami. The bench, not the starters. Here's Seattle.
03:26Manuku to De Rosario! Oh! Post!
03:33And that's the thing about Miami. They will struggle to defend in transition if you're on the front foot.
03:39Now Falcone's saying Manuku is in an offside position.
03:42But really the first opportunity we've seen Seattle in open field, near post run, should've been 3-1.
03:52No foul. Miami will continue play.
03:58Real takes it off of Bright. Here is Vargas. Vargas! Saved by Ustari.
04:07But Vargas has to hit it there. That extra touch allows Falcone.
04:12Who's not?
04:14In to Jordan Morris. Morris cutting it!
04:17But it was the initial line of pressure from Ferreira to win that ball back.
04:23And look at how slow Miami is to react.
04:26Remarkable. What a remarkable career.
04:29Continues on.
04:30Oh, bad giveaway there from Burnell.
04:33Forward to Messi. Behind Reagan!
04:36Lionel Messi!
04:37Oh my goodness! Stephen Frey!
04:39Huge save! To keep Seattle in the game!
04:43It just comes from a bad giveaway.
04:47This extension Frey, great save.
04:51Tonight it's about Inter-Miami with their eyes on the top spot of the entire league.
04:58Payback, where's Payton?
