00:00Cheers, Keith and Mo. There is the greatest of all time, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner
00:04returns to the 11 for Miami tonight to take on the Lions of Orlando.
00:12The Tigres game and maybe their regrets allowing Messi, excuse me, not Messi, but Miami have an
00:18awful lot of the ball that day. Messi's on the field, which means Miami are going to want the
00:22ball themselves. I think Miami is going to control this game with possession. When Messi is on the
00:26field, he's going to find those pockets. He's going to find those soft spots of the defense to try to
00:31get on the ball, to try to make decisions in the final third. Also having a player like Sergio
00:35Busquets, he will control the game. He will dictate the tempo of the game through his possession.
00:40I'm interested with Inter-Miami in this match if Orlando City do possess the ball and are
00:45catching them in defensive track. Victories over the Herons. There is Lionel Messi getting set to go
00:50as we count down to kickoff.
00:56Brian LaFortune there in attendance as Messi. Talked with CONCACAF, they talked with the FIFA
01:05referee group about this decision.
01:07Cesar Rodriguez scored a wonderful goal at DC. Messi out.
01:11A good little spell of possession. Rodrigo DePaul is just going to float around which way he can.
01:18Lionel Messi. Especially when they get into rhythm and possession.
01:21Got a lot of waves in MLS regular season play this year. That is by far the most of any designated
01:28player trio in Major League Soccer. They are getting a lot out of and in League's Cup.
01:35Back to Messi. Gets there before Arujo. Messi under pressure. Goes down. Draws the foul.
01:43Well there's going to be a question mark and Rodrigo DePaul and Inter-Miami are going to ask
01:48the referee whether or not VAR is going to have a look off the ball when Suarez laid it off to Messi.
01:54Now the back line and tracking those runs that come outside and in.
01:57Now Lionel Messi sprays it over. It's going to be cheeky enough to cause that one.
02:04What is that conversation? Orlando City's head coach Oscar Perea.
02:08Well the last time they met, Messi couldn't make it and that was Papi's birthday. So maybe
02:13he isn't with that 4-1 win.
02:1815 days ago in Orlando, Lionel Messi missed that game and Orlando City gave Oscar Perea quite
02:25into Messi. Busquets leaves for Messi. It was blocked.
02:29Muriel scored an opening goal that started with the first of a 3-0 win.
02:34But now here's Miami Messi. Four straight games without scoring. It can be dangerous on the world.
02:40You also have to do that because you have no vertical threat with that Yende on the bench
02:45to this team. And they've really found their footing and they are playing really really well.
02:50Still just in fifth in the Eastern. Earns a spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
02:54Messi into Rodriguez. This Friday night it's not just baseball. Bryce Harper and the Phillies.
03:02Then we had West. Adley Rushman and the Orioles against the Giants as Messi comes forward and
03:07popped into space. Messi. Breckolo chasing after. Messi shifting it.
03:13Here is Messi. He does like to play Orlando in this building. He has two braces against Orlando City in this building.
03:26He thought he drew a foul. Walter Lopez disagrees.
03:31Schlegel cuts it back. It was deflected. Makes its way to Messi anyway. Now Alba and Messi popping it back.
03:37Here we go. But to your point, it is still scoreless. And here's Lionel Messi cutting inside.
03:52With the game, Ivan Angulo. But Miami have threatened. Miami wins. They feel like they're in sync. But right now
03:59everything is behind DePaul in front of Ian Frey and Lujan. And it's causing some headaches.
04:05This is exactly what's coming now. Messi in swinging ball. There's going to try to be for the back post.
04:10Maybe in Olimpico. Oh, he was going for it. Gillesse.
04:14Putty to unbalanced defenders. How about that ball forward from Lujan?
04:17Messi's got some space to carry forward. Spins in the midfield. Keeps it away.
04:22From out to Westa. DePaul. What a ball. Jordi Alves settles. Falcone!
04:28Oh my goodness. Cut back to number 10. And Messi's right on.
04:36There was a minimum minute of added time. The goal was scored just from Orlando City's perspective.
04:41And I am in 2025. Right now, they're just worried about bringing themselves back level to go for goal.
04:48I mean, I would be stunned if he clips this to the back post. You would have to think.
04:53Remember, he scored in Copa America against the United States in a similar spot.
04:58He went up over Brad Guzan into the far post.
05:01Just one in the wall. Messi will drive this into the area. Love it.
05:06Messi. Through for Bright. Bright drives across. Going down to the area as Suarez. Play continues.
05:14Jordi Alva looking for Messi. Cleared away by Atuesta.
05:18Swinging ball from Lionel Messi. Better start to the second half.
05:23And now the corner. Messi drives in. Maria.
05:28Messi still cutting it back.
05:35And Messi clipping it towards Bright. Bright knocks it across.
05:39Janssen. Just sees things that nobody else has. And that is just a wonderful ball over the top.
05:46Bright redirects that across goal. And Janssen doing a good job not kicking it.
05:50Nice to find Suarez. It's left for Messi. Messi.
05:54Messi turning.
05:59DePaul. Big switch. Finds Messi.
06:03Messi settling. Trying to cut it to his left. Somehow still on it.
06:07Messi spinning. Messi. Too many.
06:11Just twisting and turning. How many purple shirts around the pink number 10.
06:16And yet somehow can find a half a yard. But I think emotionally Orlando City have been really good.
06:25Up to the challenge. I remember the first Leagues Cup tournament. These two teams played in this building.
06:31And all of Miami have never been shut out in Leagues Cup. 15 matches up until this point.
06:38The win. He win it back.
06:40Messi to DePaul. Drops it for Messi.
06:45Shrugs off Ojeda. Looks for Allende.
06:49Galassi aggressive off his line. It was really well done to catch it on top of Lionel Messi.
06:54Juarez. And now back to Messi. Messi's going to carry forward.
07:05Allende. Messi is down. Free kick coming for Inter-Miami.
07:09Messi over the bar. Couldn't get it down.
07:25He's a little frustrated with himself because that's the distance where he can get it up over the wall.
07:34But the wall did a good job to take off Luan. Busquets drops in the legs and energy from Segovia.
07:40Allende is shifted over.
07:43Messi to DePaul.
07:45I mean, the second goal now, Jake, would be absolutely killer for Inter-Miami.
07:53Messi cuts it back on Jervain and then again.
07:57And now it is Lionel Messi to bring this Leagues Cup semi-final back level.
08:03From the spot facing Pedro Galese.
08:08Messi scores!
08:101-1 in South Florida.
08:29Level in the semis.
08:30Well, second life because Allende was very cheeky.
08:33Got in behind Breckelow, put him in a bad spot.
08:37CONCACAF Champions Cup.
08:39And to decide who moves to the third place game.
08:42As Messi comes forward and still cutting it toward...
08:46Messi keeps it away from Gerbe.
08:50What?
08:50It's been a busy night for Armando Villarreal in the video review room.
08:56Paul will leave. Messi, Suarez, Segovia let it go by.
09:01Messi out wide, running at Marine.
09:05Messi on his left, still Messi slight.
09:10Orlando must...
09:11Jordi Alba back to Segovia.
09:12Messi settles.
09:13Jordi Alba in.
09:15Messi!
09:34Mr. Leagues Cup does it again!
09:37Miami are minutes away from returning to the final.
09:40He celebrates with his sons.
09:54Messi to DePaul.
10:04He's not given despite a video review check.
10:06Maybe even Breckelow's first yellow card with the hand up into the...
10:15In this tournament, on this stage.
10:19Trying to take down their rival Orlando City.
10:22In 2024 or in 2023 though that would have been...
10:26That man will make you pay.
10:27...code.
