00:00Luis Suarez leads the line and Messi tonight will look to take sole

00:06possession of the golden boot lead in Major League Soccer. With two strikers

00:11tonight, Emmanuel Latte-Lat, Jamal Chade form the tandem with playmakers like

00:17Almiron and Miramchuk away. Thief close to perfect and Luis Suarez over the ball

00:24will get us started tonight. We're glad you've joined us for a game. What's

00:30happening is they're not getting good enough possession to allow the back three

00:32stroke back five to get up the pitch. Over the top, Messi in the 18, settles off the chest,

00:37oh coming out to challenge was Hebert who made the save. What a fine moment for the

00:4221-year-old keeper. Puts it on a platter for Alba again, Jordi Alba tried the return

00:48from Messi instead. Busquets plays it ahead, Messi brings this down and a shot

00:53fought off by Hebert in the end. And it's out. The initial call here was...

00:59Hopefully he's okay to continue. His last trip to these grounds was quite a memorable

01:04one, wasn't it? He scored twice in the early stages of the playoff game three win.

01:09Here comes Messi after the takeaway. Curling shot! There it is! Number 25 on the air!

01:15Lionel Messi! A golden strike!

01:18Into Miami! Up and running!

01:24It's brilliant, but one thing I would say, we said about Atlanta, don't try and play through the middle.

01:27Moyambar does exactly that. All of a sudden, now, you get a situation where it's one versus one for Messi.

01:33And all he does, he doesn't need to go past Amador. He just sizes him up, gets him on his side.

01:38He thinks to himself, if I can curl it round him, then Hibbert has got absolutely no chance.

01:42And this will be a great angle of it.

01:44He just curls it around Amador. And then Hibbert, absolutely no chance.

01:49When you're playing against the greatest player in the world...

01:52Played back by Alba, now Messi.

01:54Tadio Allende, able to stretch the field so often for this Miami side.

02:00Allende, save made by Hibbert. Oh, what a stop! That was Messi, the trailer, looking for a second of the night.

02:08They're still wrestling with how quickly a professional athlete can change his mind about that.

02:14As this ball is played across, we'll get your thought on that in a moment as we watch Messi again.

02:19Play this ball in, quick shot fought off by Hibbert again at the last moment.

02:24They're going to say...

02:25For Atlanta, once again, really good play.

02:28The ball has been put in.

02:31And then, you see Messi, just always knows where his teammates are going to be.

02:37Suarez catches it well, but just can't keep it down.

02:40This is the top of the crossbar.

02:42Here's Chong Kui, Chong Kui, able to whip this ball across.

02:46Atlanta will get on it, looking for one last chance.

02:49Alzate, no lane for him.

02:52Atlanta lays this off.

02:54Alfonso with a chance!

02:56Fought off by Rios Novo, it's out!

02:58This is finding the bottom corner, no question about it.

03:01And it's a really strong hand from Rios Novo to stop a former Inter Miami.

03:08And the man of the hour, Messi.

03:11Lionel Messi, service long off the left foot.

03:14Taken here by Alba, Jordi Alba!

03:17It's a 2-0 game!

03:19Oh, on his special night!

03:21All class from Jordi Alba!

03:24Messi to Alba, or Alba to Messi.

03:26And it's a wonderful run from Messi because he can see that Alfonso, he's been dragged inside.

03:32But then what you don't see just out of the picture, Hibbert, he goes and then he comes back and he gets caught in no man's land.

03:38So he makes the run.

03:39I think he gets it if he keeps going, but he doesn't and then he retracts.

03:42But because he's retracting, he can't get back on his line.

03:45So he doesn't do either thing.

03:47And you can see from Alba, he only needs one invitation.

03:50He puts the ball into the back of the net.

03:51It's a lovely finish.

03:53And like I say, Messi to Alba, Alba to Messi.

03:56And the end result is more often the same.

03:59Ball ends up in the back of the net.

04:00So surely Lionel Messi will be credit.

04:02Goal contributions this year.

04:04That's now six away from the single season MLS record.

04:08And Carlos Vela looking to answer back!

04:10Oh, the miss!

04:11Jadé making a run.

04:12Couldn't get on the end of it.

04:19Fafa Pico, chested down by Suarez.

04:23That's Alzate there to police and a shot.

04:25Soft one is handled here with ease by Jaden Hibbert off the foot of Luis Suarez.

04:34Pressured by Lotte a lot, but the release for Messi.

04:37Lionel Messi, Suarez.

04:41Able to work this.

04:42Fafa Pico reverses course.

04:44His service off the left foot.

04:46Defended away.

04:47Suarez again!

04:48Oh my goodness!

04:50What a strike Luis Suarez!

04:53And the Barcelona boys have come to play tonight.

04:57Physics will tell you that that ball should still be rising now.

05:00It's unbelievable.

05:02Give great credit to Pico.

05:04He always makes a difference when he comes onto the pitch.

05:06But then as he falls, he's actually falling and he's going backwards.

05:09What a strike that is.

05:10It's an amazing strike.

05:13He's not even coming straight onto it.

05:14Not only is he going backwards, but he's also falling.

05:17So more often than not when you do that, the ball rises.

05:19But he's able to keep it down.

05:20He's able to get the power on it.

05:22And he's able to get it on target.

05:24And that is an outstanding volley from an outstanding center forward over the year.

05:29Weigant.

05:31And they recycle four Busquets.

05:34Messi again.

05:36Miami feeling it now.

05:38What a ball through!

05:39Suarez looking for a second!

05:41Fought off by Hibbert.

05:42It's out for a goal kick.

05:44And it's...

05:45I've always said that.

05:48Latte Lott will run onto this.

05:49That's a terrific strike and he didn't miss by much.

05:52But close call.

05:53The story again for Emmanuel Latte Lott.

05:56United for Patrick Wayan.

05:58If you're all wondering.

05:59No relation.

06:04Fafa Pico.

06:05Curling shot!

06:06Big save made by Hibbert.

06:08It's a great save as well.

06:14Pico.

06:18Rodriguez.

06:19Cut it back.

06:20Waiting to police the box was Muyamba.

06:27Scoreline says all enter Miami.

06:31The momentum is enter Miami's.

06:33Alba over the top.

06:34Here's Messi.

06:35Flag stays down.

06:36Lionel Messi!

06:37Oh my!

06:39As well.

06:41I say it's a lovely ball.

06:44Alba returning the favour.

06:46And then Messi takes the touch.

06:48Allows it to bounce a couple of times.

06:50Then puts the ball into the back of the net.

06:52The understanding between the two players.

06:54The run from Messi.

06:55He does look like he is in an onside position.

06:58As the ball is played.

07:01And he does the rest.

07:02As he does more often than not.

07:05What a performance from Messi.

07:07What a performance.

07:08What a show he's put on tonight.

07:09He's just.

07:10He's incredible.

07:11He's a.

07:12Just an absolute joy to watch.

07:14Full time has been called.

07:16Enter Miami.

07:17Takes care of business.

07:194-0 is your final.

07:21They're now tied on points.

07:23With FC Cincinnati.
