00:00Nine of those game winners, but the margins are so small at this level, 73% of Pat Noonan's MLS wins, Messi playing as the false nine role, but no team has scored more goals on the road than Inter-Miami over the past two seasons, now I've been asked over the last 12 days.
00:16Electric players in Major League Soccer, they go head-to-head, what a game this should be, the Eastern Conference Semifinal is underway.
00:27Lovely touch to settle from Evander, Robinson still forward, leaves for Evander, Evander in, brother's header, saved by Rios Novo, he read it well.
00:43There's a few more players on the field compared to Nashville that are very competent with the ball at their feet.
00:49Dinko turns away from Allen, Dinko!
00:54Rios Novo holds on.
00:57You spend a ton of money, you spend money for goals, but if they can get a hold-up play, if they can get a player that can turn, take players on, now it draws the attention to him.
01:08DePaul leaves for Messi, Messi to Silvetti, Silvetti across, Messi's header is in!
01:17And now you've got Miami in these spots where they are absolute killer, Jordi Abba then comes inside, Silvetti with the overlapping run, in a brilliant line.
01:28Has got to chase shadows for a little bit because there is verticality and young legs around Lionel Messi.
01:33Allende cutting inside, leaving it for Messi, Messi leaves it, Rodriguez, still in time on the save!
01:40You know, a by-product of this is Silvetti and Allende.
01:49Baltasar Rodriguez is now coming out of the midfield.
01:52And he came into this team and a lot of people, including myself, thought he was going to play.
02:00Correct for Messi, he's onside, Messi settles, Messi!
02:06Just wide!
02:08It's just brilliant.
02:12Between the ears, he's operating at a different level.
02:15You can't get caught flat-footed.
02:17Now there's a debate that he could have been offside, but Hedebe and Miles Robinson, you cannot get caught flat-footed.
02:24Especially if there's no pressure on the ball.
02:27Silvetti, the assist on Messi's goal in the first half.
02:32Silvetti drives it across, Delentano a touch!
02:36Hedebe the first to the rebound.
02:38Lionel Messi has stepped up in this conference semifinal.
02:42Ooh, Allende with the turn.
02:43Evander not as much, but this is promising.
02:45It's still better!
02:49They completely lost a great little turn from Allende.
02:52And then you play into the feet and a first-time finish.
02:56Now you've got Messi defending 25 yards from his own goal.
03:00Oh, what a ball.
03:00Watch out.
03:01To Allende, who is in!
03:02Allende for three!
03:04But in the biggest moments, he does them better than everybody else.
03:11When the lights are the brightest, his star...
03:15Not in that moment.
03:19Flag is down for now, and Messi is in!
03:21Messi for four!
03:23Patience!
03:25He put it wide.
03:26It doesn't matter.
03:28He was offside.
03:29The flag is raised.
03:30And it's close.
03:33Miles Robinson just taking that last step.
03:35Puts Messi in an offside position.
03:48For Miami.
03:51Oh, my goodness.
03:51Allende's onside.
03:52Allende's in.
03:54Hedebe chasing.
03:55Allende pulls him off.
03:57Allende scores!
03:59In about ten minutes.
04:01Again, they win it.
04:05Again, it's Messi forward.
04:16Kubo cuts inside.
04:18Kubo!
04:19Descends wide.
04:23It's averaging over three and a half goals per game as a team.
04:29And here is Messi through.
04:31DePaul, 4-5.
04:33So, the total is saved.
04:35And then DePaul can't keep it in play.
04:39Well, this is just what happens when the game unfolds and you've got numbers and bodies.
04:44And it is over.
04:51Assertive.
04:53Dominant.
04:53And comprehensive.
04:56Enter Miami or on to the Eastern Conference Final.
