00:00For Fernandez-Marcao, he'll be the focal point, whether it's getting the ball to his feet

00:03or making those little darting runs to stretch the game.

00:06Fernandez-Marcao with a big job up front with Martinez.

00:09Finding him early, getting him on the ball, and letting him work his magic.

00:12A first Miami start for Mateo Silvetti out wide, a second for Baltasar Rodriguez.

00:17For Miami, from Citi Field tonight, just across the street from the site of the new stadium for New York City

00:22as we begin this massive MLS contest as Inter-Miami pay a visit to New York City.

00:29Fernandez-Marcao now taking short, getting it back from Morales.

00:33Here's Nico Fernandez-Marcao, on he goes and takes the aim!

00:37It's just off target there from Fernandez-Marcao, working the corner routine.

00:41On the same page, defensively, tracking those players, communicating early.

00:47Corner delivered, Falcón!

00:49Gets the header on target, the right in that freeze.

00:52Finding their moments to play, Citi.

01:00Fernandez-Marcao lifting in, free-headed from Archie!

01:03It's right at Ustadi!

01:05Poor defending, but not made to pay for it, Miami!

01:08It's a wide option to show for him, but Braid, losing out of possession.

01:16Wolf down the line.

01:18Challenge coming in towards Fernandez-Marcao, who could be in here.

01:22It's Fernandez-Marcao on the turn!

01:23Nico Fernandez!

01:25Dragged it wide!

01:28And it's exactly what they need for Fernandez-Marcao.

01:30Those little darting runs in behind.

01:32Allen comes across, over-commits, and then it frees up for Fernandez-Marcao.

01:36In this position, does so well to use Falcón to his advantage.

01:41And then in this moment, this is where you just have to compose yourself,

01:45place it into the back of the net for a simple finish instead.

01:48Just collects it too much, sends it just wide.

01:53Rumble left! Rumble left!

01:57Referee now motioned towards Walls.

01:58Messi takes!

01:59And Fries getting good fingertips to it.

02:04It won't be a corner for Miamis.

02:06That one was well-struck for Messi.

02:07Because when you have Messi on your side, regardless of where he is,

02:11whether it's direct free kicks, my goodness,

02:13Fries does such a good job of getting across, keeping his feet moving,

02:17getting him stretched out to make sure that that right hand comes across.

02:22It's just some fingertips on him.

02:24Rodriguez, controlling well and tried to find Messi,

02:27but he's that little bit off.

02:29Found no by Busquets and in behind.

02:31Here's Baltasad Rodriguez.

02:33Rodriguez!

02:38If you don't take your chances against Miami,

02:41they will make you pay.

02:46Busquets to Messi,

02:48to Baltasad Rodriguez for his second of the season as Miami take the lead.

02:53Reads it so well to be able to pick it off,

02:55but it's that first touch that sets him up.

02:57Instead of going out wide, just right down the heart of New York City.

03:01And then Rodriguez, the timing of the run,

03:03sees it immediately, knows exactly where Messi's going to turn,

03:07and then you get the numbers in behind.

03:08And this is what it's all about.

03:10Just staying calm, even under pressure.

03:12Two defenders coming in on him.

03:13Just opens up his hits for the easy finish,

03:16the simple finish to put the away team up 1-0.

03:20And Messi with the perfectly weighted ball through the legs there of

03:24Thiago Marcins.

03:32Messi well found by Busquets.

03:34Messi driving towards that middle,

03:35slipping to Suarez on the turn.

03:37Suarez!

03:39All saved there from Freeze.

03:42He's always going to get there.

03:43He's only trying to get on the wrong side of defenders.

03:46You have to give credit to Miami,

03:48because they've disrupted the game at times

03:50to earn fouls,

03:52and then made the right substitutions.

03:54Brake coming in,

03:55he'll help control the midfield.

03:56Busquets great idea to Messi.

03:58Messi for two, Messi!

04:05Listen to that roar!

04:11Messi wants more!

04:13The vision from Messi just stays out of the play initially,

04:16but Busquets, what a ball that is.

04:18Look at Hack.

04:19Just got sucked into Messi's path,

04:21and then at the last second,

04:22the change of pace to be able to get in behind.

04:25There's the pass.

04:26Hacks out of,

04:27all out of sorts defensively,

04:29and then Messi in this moment.

04:30My goodness,

04:31what a finish that is.

04:32So class.

04:33Under pressure.

04:34Feels it.

04:35Rides the challenge,

04:36and then it's the last second.

04:37Under full speed.

04:38This is a clip over Freeze.

04:39Has to come off his line to commit,

04:41to try to make the play,

04:42but it doesn't matter one bit to Messi.

04:45Just clips it over.

04:46Challenge well measured, though,

04:48from Aiton O'Neal.

04:49Now playing wide here with Fernandez.

04:50Outside of the boot,

04:51and away from Wai Gantz.

04:53And on the volley, O'Toole.

04:55My, did he catch that,

04:56and Ustadi with a decent save.

04:59Sure.

05:00You get this out of danger,

05:01but a little strike that is.

05:04Just a side volley coming through.

05:06Makes such good contact.

05:10Messi, nodding down for Busquets.

05:12You can see him springing into the attack.

05:14DePaul could get there.

05:15Goes over the area.

05:16It's a penalty to Miami.

05:18Rodrigo DePaul at full stretch.

05:22Getting to that ball first.

05:26Once again, it's Busquets that starts it,

05:28but what vision that is from Suarez.

05:31In MLS for Miami.

05:33Here's Luis Suarez for 3-0.

05:37Frees the wrong way.

05:43Makes no mistake about it.

05:46Really puts this game out of reach

05:48in favor of Miami.

05:50Right now, defensively,

05:52New York City all out of sorts.

05:53But it's the defensive work

05:56from Miami that's been the difference tonight.

05:59Well, kept in play.

06:00Messi.

06:01On he goes.

06:02Messi!

06:09Enter Miami.

06:11Running Ryan tonight.

06:12Lionel Messi at the double

06:20as he was on Saturday.

06:23And then Messi says,

06:24fine, I'll go myself.

06:25There's the run from Suarez.

06:26Opens up just a little window.

06:28Keep referencing Busquets,

06:29but also DePaul,

06:31when he was playing in that central area,

06:33did a really good job

06:34of playing off Busquets,

06:35putting in the work that was needed

06:36and just at the right moment,

06:37slowing the tempo down.

06:39Trying to catch Fries off his line there.

06:41Busquets.

06:43That would have been somewhere

06:44to finish the hat trick.

06:45Oh, it would have fallen down.

06:48Very good side at home,

06:49but never lost to Miami at home.

06:51Coming into this one

06:52in previous meetings

06:53as Fernandez Mercado

06:53has recovered possession here.

06:55City looking for a response.

06:56Martinez!

06:57Off the post!

06:59The slick surface.

07:01This takes it just off of the post,

07:03but I love the run from Martinez.

07:05Opens up just a little bit of a gap

07:06in the space for Fernandez Mercado

07:09to be able to play that.

07:09But there's the outside

07:10of the right boot.

07:14And there is the full-time whistle.

07:17Inter-Miami have clinched a place

07:18in the MLS Cup playoffs.

07:21Oh, but they want more.

07:22They can go get more.

07:24Third in the table

07:25and still the chance

07:26to finish top of the conference

07:27after a comprehensive win tonight.

07:29focus.

07:33Here we go.

07:34It's theumn.

07:35Here we go.
