Lionel Messi saved the game and this was the reaction of Inter Miami's coach

Inter Miami CF is placed in an important way in a match where they struggled to get an agonizing pass to the final of the US Open Cup against one of the best teams in MLS like Cincinnati FC. Lionel Messi was one of the great architects in this match where he shone with a double of assists that Leonardo Campana finished off correctly.

Without the presence of his new great partner, the Finnish winger Robert Taylor, Messi had a hard time generating offensive actions and the locals took advantage of it to advance the score in the 18th minute. Two goals from Ecuadorian Leonardo Campana to passes from Messi in the minutes 68 and 90+7 tied the game at 2-2 and forced overtime.

The reality is that Inter Miami was outclassed in many parts of the game, mainly in the second half. However, the ingenuity of the Argentine player came to the surface again to get Inter Miami out of trouble in a match in which many thought that Miami was not going to qualify. Something that finally happened in the penalty shootout.

What did Martino do when he saw Lionel Messi?

Once again, the genius of the Argentinian saved Inter Miami from a defeat and with it, they have already won 8 consecutive matches. For this reason, Gerardo Martino did not hesitate to embrace the star of his team in a big way and to whom he owes most of the recent successful results in the squad.
