In just about a month on the team, Lionel Messi has already helped Inter Miami win its first trophy. Now, they’re 90 minutes away from the second one, after his performance lifted the team to a win in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals.
During Wednesday night’s match vs. Cincinnati, Messi finished with two assists in the thrilling penalty-kick victory. Messi’s second assist was a perfectly-placed ball to Leonardo Campana, who cooly finished in the 97th minute to equalize at 2–2 just before the final whistle.
