Inter Miami CF vs. Philadelphia Union | Full Match Highlight | Messi Makes The Difference!

Flanked tonight by the hero in Inter-Miami's last game, Fafa Pico, and Robert Taylor as well.

It is maybe the most anticipated game of the MLS evening, and a big one in the East.

We get the signal to get underway, and in their traditional navy blue.

the union play it back to jan glavinovic in his second mls start he had the goal for philadelphia wasn't getting in the philadelphia union team but he came in took his opportunity and his ability to finish first time is incredible in the box they're all circling this game on the schedule as well robert taylor able to work this across pico gets a hit to it off the post

Papa Pico looking to score in back-to-back games.

Nearly did it.

How well he gets up here.

You've got Hariel, and he just completely gets over him.

Then he just uses his left shoulder just for stability.

It just looks like Glesnes.

He fancies his chances here are a strike or goal.

Glesnes has scored big goals from distance in the past.

Drives that ball.

Good drive on it.

And fired it wide.

Maggie Westfield, MLS Next Pro.

Best 11 ahead for Mikel Hoa.

Edge of the 18, looks at his options, takes one, that's Lucas with a shot, save there, Ostani!

Miami team that surrendered just four goals in its first four matches, an impressive number with a couple of players red-carded in that span, here they come on a counter, they work it across, Kramatsky, no!

Oh, what a finish in front!

But it was all about the work in midfield.

Philadelphia Union committed themselves.

Therefore, when the ball ends up in the 18-yard box, they're outnumbered.

It's brilliant play from Inter Miami.

It's calmness in a storm.

Gathers a second time.

Now able to lay this ball off.

They work this in the direction of Uwe.

This is headed across.

Oh, Uwe couldn't get to it.

Still a live ball in the 18.

Shot is blocked away.

You have to know when the time is right to bring the player in, when to give him a rest, when to use him.

Opportunity here.

Top of the box and a save made off the shot by Uwe.

But the goalkeeper is starting.

They're trying to play through the pressure on a couple of occasions and it's got the better of them and they've lost the ball.

See what the referee has to say.

And there's a card out of the pocket of Rosendo Mendoza.

Barribo.

Dragged a bit from behind, and now, inter-Miami with Suarez.

He's got Picot making a run.

Papa Picot with Messi and Suarez.

in the box, Lionel Messi.

Messi out, wide shot goal!

Like a microwave, can't heat up any quicker than that.

Lionel Messi for a 2-0 lead.

Just makes the game look so easy.

First of all, Suarez, one of his best mates, he wins the ball.

And the ball goes out then to Pico, and all of a sudden it's 3-3.

And this is all about, can they get Messi?

1-1.

And that's exactly what they do.

Klavinovic...

He has no idea what to do.

Is he going to go inside?

Is he going to go outside?

He really doesn't mind because the ball ends up at the back of the net.

And he makes football look so easy.

An incredible talent, arguably the greatest player the world has ever seen.

And it's just like he's in a schoolyard.

Playing in school, playing with freedom, and just making the game look ridiculously easy.

That's one former Newlands Old Boys youth player

defeating another in that sequence.

He gets himself free, he gets ahead of Busquets.

Two physical players there, Glessnis and Falcone on the corner.

The end swinger, well, the Union got ahead to that, but it's innocently wide of goal.

One back by Quinn Sullivan.

Now Damiani, centrally for Vasilev.

Indiana Vasilev gives it a go.

Reed Cutter is handled into Miami now.

14 goals in MLS so far this year, and their fifth match is not complete yet.

Vasilev in the meantime.

plays out wide Westfield whips that ball in and a shot goes wide in the danger area it was set up for Damiani I remember growing up in Manchester United as a 19 year old when I was training with the first team you'd listen to the first team plays and all the time they would say to you all the time they would say to you that training was harder than games Sullivan able to curl this ball in here's a chance for the Union and a shot rifled into the back of the net Daniel Gosdag to give the Philadelphia Union hope in the 80th minute game on again it's 2 to 1

and it is an emphatic finish into the back of the net and it just breathes hope into this Philadelphia Union team.

It's a lovely ball in from Sullivan as well, a nightmare for defenders because you're running back towards your own goal.

Quinn Sullivan gets on it a second time.
