00:06overcast day in the Bronx the upper dead that comes into the match three wins and a draw what
00:15a week it's been already for Lionel Messi as Marcao who scored twice the previous time out
00:20is in fine form for the Morales remember in the playoff game last year expect Tatio
00:27Allende to be the striker who leads their line for warm-ups more than a smattering of booze awaited
00:34him as well through the first four games since they entered the league in 2015 able to play
00:41centrally this is Yannick Bright on the move able to work this far and a clip in the box let's
00:46see
00:46what the referee Villarreal has to say it is out for the first point MLS last season Messi on the
00:52in swinger that is repelled and a shot from distance blocked away but the rebound put home
00:58into Miami with a one-nothing lead three minutes into the match and the early celebration is on
01:07in the Bronx for the visiting side
01:13it's been a really good start from into Miami I mean you can see from NYC point of view they
01:18think
01:18they've cleared the danger but then it just falls to the most unlikely of players Luan who's come
01:22forward for the set piece you just see Segovia takes the strike falls to him and takes it first
01:28time and it's a wonderful finish and because he takes it first time freeze and not set himself so
01:33all he can do is what's the ball go dominating the midfield they're outnumbering NYC in midfield
01:38because Segovia's coming in he's making a third central midfielder so you've Gentina in his second
01:43year with this club and you got a sense Miami needed a feel-good moment at the same player who
01:49has come into his own one of the good local stories here the Bronx native and the whistle is for
01:54the
01:55Herons to play this out wide Gonzalo Lujan to get this started no Maxi Falcone early here and
02:01Messi the Miami captain to play this ahead Frey from their previous match Miami mixing things up
02:10from midweek Messi navigates out of traffic as no address blood flow issues in his right leg
02:18for him three of the nine goals he scored in the run to Miami's first NLS Cup championship
02:25rest of the grid catch up expect daring overtakes non-stop action next week New York City on the
02:32attack about the position it's all about the movement and there's been a real sense of frustration
02:35of the timings of conceding the goals and I'm sure that today but so at times you've just got to
02:40try
02:40and use the width a little bit more try and get the plays with pace into the team going for
02:44the
02:45takeaway trillion partner at center back Olympic changes from last year no more Justin Hatch on their
02:52home ground against the MLS Cup champions this ball whipped in repelled again give it away bright
03:00able to play this forward Lionel Messi off the left foot that time big save by Frey's rebound still
03:05loose and booted over the bar so close to a two goal lead in the opening eight minutes yeah and
03:11it's
03:11only because of freeze that it isn't two nil but once Maxi Morales sends to the top of the box
03:20he's number 10 who goes to work here no it's Fernandez Macau go rang it off the crossbar and in
03:27we are level at one
03:36and that's the man who can't be stopped five goals now in his first five games this season
03:43it most certainly is it's five star and it's the best of the lot he couldn't have designed it better
03:50if he tried again what an outstanding finish and you can see Sinclair even though he's close to it
03:55he's looking and thinking there's no way that this can go into the goal well yes it can and not
04:01only can it hit the crossbar and come back off the line and then go into the
04:04you
