Messi scores and assists as Miami comes from behind to reach the CONCACAF Champions League semi-finals

In fact, Inter Miami unexpectedly conceded a goal in the 9th minute with a close-range shot by Aaron Long in a messy situation, but Inter Miami quickly regained the initiative and continuously attacked. In the 24th minute, Messi scored. Unfortunately, the ball was not recognized.

In the 35th minute, from a central combination, Messi spoke up. He received the ball right in front of the 16m50 area and then launched a familiar left-footed curler to score the equalizer 1-1 for Inter Miami.

1-1 was the result of the first half. After the break, the home team still dominated the opponent with the best chances to belong to them. In the 61st minute, Noah Allen scored to raise the score to 2-1 for Inter Miami. Messi still created this move. He helped Allen head the ball to score when goalkeeper Lloris had rushed out and missed. The score of the two matches was 2-2.

Messi directs Miami's victory

In the 76th minute, Messi continued to make his mark. He passed the ball like a set piece for Luis Suarez to head the ball into the net. However, once again, the goal was disallowed as Suarez was in an offside position.

Undaunted after two rejected chances, the home team finally got what they needed in the 84th minute, the winning goal. Messi completed his double with a successful penalty kick in the 84th minute. Before that, the referee determined that the ball had touched the hand of a Los Angeles FC player in the penalty area.

There was little time left for Lloris' team to recover. They accepted a 2-3 defeat against Miami's overwhelming dominance. Thus, Messi's team reached the semi-finals and took another step towards the first championship in the 2025 season.
