Messi shines and guides Inter Miami to unknown territory: He wants the MLS title at all costs

Inter Miami managed to win with authority against a Cincinnati side that suffered in defence against a Messi in great form

From the first few minutes, Inter took control of the midfield and with a great triangulation of the herons, Leo Messi scored the first goal of the match in the 18th minute with a header after a precise assist from Mateo Silvetti . In this way, the Argentine star gave the team from Florida the victory at halftime.

Mateo Silvetti's double

In the first minutes of the second half, when Cincinnati made an attempt to react, the second goal came, the first for Mateo Silvetti. Assisted by Leo Messi, the young Argentine made it 2-0.

In the 74th minute, Silvetti again took advantage of the opposing defense to score a double, a 3-0 that already seemed to sentence the match.

As if Leo Messi had not had enough with a goal and two assists, the Argentine star assisted again, this time for Tadeo Allende to put the final figures on the match. In this way, Messi became the player of the match , confirming what had already been said for several days: this has been his best season in MLS .

Messi's numbers are not limited to goals, as after today's three assists, the Argentine star has 404 assists, confirming him as one of the best passers in history, a player who not only scores, but also creates.

Inter Miami reaches the Conference Final and awaits its opponent

With this result, Inter Miami managed to advance to the Conference Final and is a couple of steps away from the coveted title, which would be historic for the Herons .

Finally, the huge investment made by the Miami board has paid off in MLS, as the team led by Messi , Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba is close to winning its first cup for Inter Miami .

However, to do so they will first have to play the Eastern Conference Final against the team that emerges victorious from the duel between Philadelphia and New York City FC. Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, the Whitecaps , who after overcoming LAFC in a penalty shootout, await the winner of the match between San Diego FC and Minnesota.

Inter Miami the big favorite to win MLS

Inter Miami's triumph already represents a historic achievement for the 'Reds', however, it is evident that this team is desperately seeking the championship

After overcoming FC Cincinnati and reaching the Conference Final in MLS for the first time, the club led by Javier Mascherano leaves behind its role as a "rookie contender" and is now a real contender and even a favorite to win the title.
