Messi Leads Miami Into MLS Playoff Matchup with Cincinnati

Messi scored twice and assisted twice in Inter Miami’s 4-0 win to reach their first MLS East semifinal, with the team 19-2-3 when scoring at least two goals this season.

  • On Saturday Inter Miami routed Nashville 4-0 to advance in the MLS Cup playoffs, and will visit FC Cincinnati in the East semifinal on Nov. 22 or Nov. 23.
  • Lionel Messi is the heavy favorite for a second straight MLS MVP and won the Golden Boot, while Inter Miami is 19-2-3 this season when scoring at least two goals.
  • Messi opened the scoring early and added another before halftime, aided by a Mateo Silvetti pass that created an open-net chance, then set up Tadeo Allende's two late goals to seal the 4-0 rout.
  • The Inter Miami-Cincinnati winner will play either top-seeded Philadelphia Union or fifth-seeded NYCFC in the East final, with the MLS Cup final set for Dec. 6.
  • This advance marks new territory for Inter Miami compared with Miami Fusion, and Jordi Alba warned, `We know Cincinnati will be a tough test` as he prepares to retire.
