Inter Miami Secures US Open Cup Final Berth with Messi’s Stellar Lead
Despite an unimpressive first sixty-eight minutes of the game, Lionel Messi assisted a pair of goals by Leonardo Campana, the second of which came in the 97th minute, before converting his own penalty in the ensuing shootout to help Inter Miami defeat FC Cincinnati. When 120 minutes of play finished 3-3, rookie Benjamin Cremaschi converted the decisive spot kick, making it eight straight matches in which he had either scored or assisted for the Herons.
Despite being an asset on the field, Messi was initially stymied by Cincinnati and managed only one shot. He did, however, demonstrate flexibility by making other significant improvements. Leonardo Campana scored after receiving help from Messi with a free kick. During stoppage time, he once again sent a remarkable ball to Campana that evened the score and compelled further play. After Messi’s free-kick was thwarted by the opposing team, the anxiety reached its zenith.
There would be a penalty shootout in this game. As the first Inter Miami shooter, he then inserted his penalty kick.
The turning point occurred when FC Cincinnati’s fifth shot was saved by Inter Miami’s Drake Callender. Eventually, Inter Miami’s Benjamin Cremaschi sprang up and guaranteed their place in the U.S. Open Cup final.
So, in this wild game, Messi didn’t have the easiest time at first against Cincinnati, but he still managed to help Inter Miami win and pave their way to the US Open Cup Final. He set up goals, scored his own in a shootout, and showed his flexibility. The game went to penalties, and Inter Miami came out on top with a great save and a winning kick from Cremaschi. It was a real nail-biter that proved Messi’s worth and the team’s spirit.
