New England Revolution vs. Inter Miami CF - Full Match Highlights - April 27, 2024

So how much do they have to give tonight? Arriaga makes his first start after being acquired from the Seattle Sounders, but only five goals scored on the season. Two and a half hours before the game, Suarez was in the eleven. 90 minutes before the game, Campana is in. Russell becomes the only player from Miami to start every game this season. The supporters shield standings and they've been led by Lionel Messi. A matchup of two of the best number tens in Major League Soccer. It's underway in front of over 65,000. We've seen how so many teams have reacted to enter Miami. Is that possible? It's possible, but it's been extremely difficult for other teams in Major League Soccer. Great run here from Ciancolai. Ciancolai with calendar off his leg. Being in opposition with respect or reverence. And Kayla Porter said all week, I don't want any of my players to be in awe of Lionel Messi and enter Miami. But you need your best players to show up. It's been eight games since Carlos Hill has had an assist. The longest streak of his MLS career. The ball over the top. Drake Callender in no man's land. And Tomas Ciancolai less than a minute in. What a start for them. Now Negri looking for Campana and cleared away by Kessler. And how ironic it's the 25 year old Argentine that puts the ball in the back of the net. Second in the supporter shield race. And yet they have fallen flat over the last nine months. Some of those answers, Kayla. Hill under pressure is fouled by Tomas Aviles. For the viewers that are just tuning in, there's a fluke. When he goes forward, more often than not, the intuition is going to want to come inside and tuck in. Rubio Vasquez bringing it back for the foul. Will Nutmeg from Messi gets around. Marc-Anthony Kaye over to Weigand. Back to Messi, cutting it. Messi on his right foot. Saved by Ramos. Doing it the entire time to set up Nick Lima. And then all it takes is the one little run in behind. Taylor's in. Taylor. Now Messi is in! It's inevitable. Initially, the New England Revolution cleaned it up, but then the fact that immediately Robert Taylor's in a spot and Andrew Farrell just stops for one second. But that stop allows to play Messi onside. Put him in that spot. It's going to end up in the back of the goal every single time. Eight goals, six assists in just under 600 minutes. Carlos Hill to Marc-Anthony Kaye. He'll try it. Andre Callender sees it go over. And I'm bringing on for your own need as soon as possible. And I'm playing two up front. I'm going for three points. I'm playing Carlos Hill where Nacho Hill is and allowing the float. But I've I've got to get grasp at something. He gets something out of this game. Robert Taylor, a good example of that. Wagons, Caressel floating at header down and just wide from Freire. It's about three hours before. Yep. Initial lineups were Suarez was in the 11. You just wonder if Tata Martino saw the news of the struggle of the revolution. If he said, let's flip it. Let's have Suarez come in for the final 30 minutes with the game. Ruiz, Busquets. Oh, all the way through to Messi's brace. Record setting brace. The first player in MLS history with five straight matches, with multiple goal contributions. The genius of these players. Because Henry Kessler is too slow to react. You can't allow a player of Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi the opportunity to break you down because it's not what's ahead of you. It's what's behind you. It's not the first layer. It's not the second. It is the third layer run from Lionel Messi and Busquets on a dime to one in Miami, because those two are from a different world. And Benjamin Kramowski will as well, Julian Gressel and Robert Taylor, the players that leave for Inter Miami. Rojas back to Messi, Rojas again. Busquets, Rojas held up his run a little bit. Reacted well, kept it in play and Messi! Oh my, what a save! Kramowski there for the follow. His first of the season. Miami flung in front of 65,000 in Gillette. Three to one. It is remarkable. It is relentless. It is constant how they put you under pressure. New players, old players, it doesn't matter. But if you sit back as New England has done, it is very difficult against this Inter Miami team. I'd argue there's a virus going through Major League Soccer by the name of Lionel Messi. Here he is to Suarez! Stop it! Stunning from Suarez! One Inter Miami, domination at Gillette. Look at this touch right here. And guess who? Messi! Suarez! My word. They'll be 85 years old doing this on the beach in South Beach. And it won't matter. On one leg, these two just know how to get it done. Brendan Bayh got injured. In a disjointed locker room. I don't care what the locker room tells you. The proof's in the pudding. Oh, Pereiro curling that. The calendar had it covered all the way. There is the final whistle on another dominating night for Lionel Messi.
