Inter Miami CF vs. Nashville SC | Full Match Highlights | 2025 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs

nobody scored more goals at home in mls than enter miami can they deliver tonight defensively on the road since they came into major league soccer in 2020 they're gonna have to have that type of performance tonight game three enter miami nashville sc to advance to the conference semi-finals underway at chase stadium in fort lauderdale florida

I just felt like it would be Allende and Messi up front with those two and Segovia to fill in the gaps in the midfield.

But Mascherano sees it otherwise.

Bounces right to Messi.

Here he comes.

Messi!

You've got to throw in.

You defend it well.

You cannot play this ball back against the grain.

It's deflected.

But how many times have Nashville players, fans, coaches, and owners seen number 10 in a pink jersey run right out of back line and find a little bit of a gap?

League's Cup Final, Decision Day, and now Game 3 of the MLS Cup Playoffs.

He goes the other way.

Back across the green.

His 14th goal in 10 games against Nashville.

Falcone trying to get Corcoran into the baby games.

Messi goes on the ground.

Jordi Alba leaves it from distance just wide.

Rodriguez wasn't far away.

made his introduction to major league soccer and this team disjointed so he was in and out of the lineup and training but you said it jake he's been very consistent within the 11. mascherano loves his ability i think miami's aggression where they're setting up with their pressure has been kind of the defining characteristic of this first half nashville have been unable to threaten for any meaningful possession and zimmerman misses it

He can thread the needle.

He can find any pass he needs to all over the field.

An absolute dime.

Yes, Walker Zimmerman has to do better with that.

But the ball forward puts a defender into a precarious spot.

And if he doesn't deal with it, Silvetti's in.

And how about the composure from the 19-year-old not to take it one-on-one, but just slide it across to a guy that scores goals for a living.

And especially against Nashville.

Messi, Ryan Willis, who catches, holds on.

Nashville made three changes at halftime, bringing on Jacob Schaffelberg, who's on the ball now.

Gaston Bruggemann and Daniel Lovitz taking off Patrick Jasbeck, Matthew Corcoran, and Josh Bauer.

And immediately, Schaffelberg to Surage, and Nashville score!

But wait, it's waved off!

A foul.

Surage taking down Falcone.

He's immediately going to change the complexion of this Nashville attack.

But watch Sam Surge back post.

Oh, wow.

That's as unlucky as it gets.

Little pockets of space for Mukhtar and Surge.

Direct for Surge.

Falcone knocks it down.

Mukhtar on it.

Really good to get away from DePaul.

And then Falcone slides it out to Surge.

Over.

But again, promising from Nashville.

Motar Zimmerman Who sketch was on the ground?

No call was made and Zimmerman sends it just wide and over as he brought it down in front of Gaston Bruggemann and Nashville go quick surge off and running The first save of this game for Miami's goalkeeper love it

And I know BJ Kellyanne has his reasons, but I watch Brugman in this half so far He just gives them something different

He's understanding of what MLS is.

Lovitz comes in.

But Bruggemann's been the player that has really changed the complexion of this.

And he's given them something through the middle.

Sokovia now.

Allende and Silvetti in the middle.

Cuts it back to Silvetti.

It's blocked.

DePaul.

Jordy Alba, Messi, Jordy Alba cuts it back and it's in!

It's that same old story.

This ball is going to find its way to Jordy Alba, but I want you to watch.

You've got to get after Alba and Messi quicker.

You can't allow them to combine.

There could be a thousand people in downtown Miami and only two players with a ball.

Jordy Alba and Lionel Messi will find each other.

You have to force them to play elsewhere.

And Allende ends up the beneficiary and so does this crowd.

Because the momentum was just on an edge.

It ain't anymore.

Another goal contribution for Lionel Messi against Nashville, and maybe another Allende for two!

Clemson over wins!

Exclamation point for Inter-Miami!

Book those tickets to Cincinnati!

And his ability to stretch the field in the attack for Inter-Miami is so valuable.

But how many times this year has he wasted chances?

And I get it.

He's got 16 goals in all competitions after this one.

But Mascherano and company will tell you he easily could have had 25 goals on the season in moments like these.

Because Messi, Alba, Busquets will get you in behind when you have the pace.

What a wonderful finish.

The four halves there in Nashville will feel really good about three of the four.

But it has been pretty comprehensive from Miami here at home.

Leo Snowball will make the save from Brugman.

For the first time in club history, Inter-Miami have advanced to the conference semifinal.

Dominant in game three.

4-0 the final over Nashville.
