Messi vs New York City - Magic Assist & Conference Champions! 🔥🐐 - 29-11-2025.

Welcome to the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs. Welcome to South Florida. Welcome to the Eastern Conference Final, where the stars of Inter-Miami host the resilient road warriors of New York City. Here at Shea Stadium, there is Messi and Rodrigo Dupal and co. Heading out for warm-ups on the biggest day here in Major League Soccer for them. In their club's tenure, it's massive. At this rate, there is Lionel Andres Messi. Getting set to go here. Sasha Kleshen. And he's finding his best form at the perfect time. He really is. He's just been on fire in these playoffs. And the game script has been hacked. Both have started 39 straight games for New York City. So the stars are out. Carlos Alcaraz in the house. And on the pitch as well. Jordi. Can drop in. He can play for it. Nobody has scored more goals in his career. We'll be back with the national anthem from South Florida. Lionel Messi on a record-setting run in this postseason. He's two away from the all-time playoff goal. Kickoff is next. Inter-Miami and New York City. This is the Eastern Conference Final on Apple TV. Here we go. Lionel Messi has been in big games for decades of his career. As has Maxi Morales. Two timeless Argentinian number 10s. Morales. Will try to make it a fourth straight on the. Into Lionel Messi. Over to Jordi Alba. Pressuring. Messi all the way back to help out Marcelo Weigand. A real license for Jordi Alba to get forward. He's already going to find that space when Lionel Messi is on the ball. But more importantly, wait. Messi. A heavy touch. Allows O'Toole to take it away. Trying to hold him off into the face of Lionel Messi. I don't think there's a foul there. But good work from Aidan O'Neill to close down that space as Messi dropped into the midfield. To try to get a little bit more involved in possession. See Miami kind of gesturing to New York City. To get a little bit more involved in possession. Two very different inter-Miami teams. A three-no win for New York City. Messi draws the Nations. Now he's just lingering in your back shoulder. Nico Fernandes not even understanding where Messi minutes in. There but quickly popping up winning possession. New York City's dealing with them. Messi will send this ball in. The header is way to freeze. A great chance for Mateo. New York City got to be a little careful allowing Rodrigo de Paul to have the vision and eyes to play the ball forward. Busquets direct to Allende! The unstoppable force strikes first. Messi cutting inside. Allende trying to leave at any point in the playoffs. The only other goal they allowed was in the 81st minute of game three. Allen intercepts. A little unfortunate. I think he's just trying to give Falcone a little taste of his own medicine. Paul still has not gone back into play. Clearly there was quite a bit of unhappiness. Hosting MLS Cup, there's no reason to get involved. So after all. So Fede. Messi. But underneath his foot. Marcelo Huygen are on yellow cards. And now the ball is back into play! He's for Tuddale! With two goals. And lead. He's going to be focused on his team defending this set piece. And this 2-0 lead. Without their lead striker, Alonso Martinez. An ACL injury. On international duty with Costa Rica a week and a half ago. Skoljansson in the sense that the roster wasn't really full and complete until the last 15 games of the year. But they're up against it. Screaming it out in Falcone. Just be very calm and composed. Allow them possession. It does! And it's Justin Heck! Oakland native has given New York City life. 2-1. What a huge morale boost. That goal makes. Now all of a sudden there's life in New York City. There's a game still to be had here. Messi into De Paul. Messi Rodriguez with room. Messi. Through towards... Bionicle build up from inter-Miami. Messi. Spinning. Floating it towards Jordi Alba. Back in her third pass. But the fourth one, which is that Jordi Alba diagonal run. Really... Over here with Lionel Messi. Close, but he's more at the top of the 18. Messi will send this towards the back post. Quick free kick. But in the run of play. Miami hasn't had the run of play the way they did against Simpson. Their second goal. And then that one for New York City. Those have been the moments tonight. De Paul leaves. Messi. Silvetti. Messi shrugs off Raul Gustavo. And now it's Jordi Alba. Back to Lionel Messi. Heavy touch. Broken up. Counter-press. Turn him over. Carlos Alcaraz looking on. His hometown club. Allende. Messi. Jordi Alba. This game is very, very much in the balance. Sleeve on his leg. And after about 15 seconds in the game, he took it off and threw it to Miami's bench. Didn't like how it... Back to Messi. It was broken up. And it will sail out for a Miami corner. Short. Messi and Jordi Alba knocking it back and forth. Ojeda once again. Red defensive responsibilities. And he's gotten it from Ojeda tonight. Messi. He was offside. The flag is raised. Messi. Riguez misread that ball. Find out tonight. Messi draws the foul. He kind of came across the body of... Well, it's unfortunate, too, because Otul fell. Floating it to Jordi Alba. Knocking it back to Messi. Turning. Sliding. Salvatore! It was his save! Miami want more. Rodriguez back to Lionel Messi. Instructions. Lionel Messi ready. Floated it. Out of the way. Messi turning away from Morales forward. Messi instead floats this. Jordi Alba taking it first time. With Fernandez-Mercawi as Jordi Alba making a big run up the middle. He has DePaul as well. He slides it to Jordi Alba! Messi turning. Suarez. Gotta leave him. Messi to Suarez. Back to Messi! Suarez! Blocked. I'm not responding. Absolutely. I wouldn't touch that. Allende! Is it five? A hat-trick for Allende! This team! He has mentioned MLS Cup. That is the ultimate goal. The star on the crest. They're now one game away. They've made the final. They'll host the finals.
