Having quite a different season this year, just 31 points.
They will not be playing in the postseason.
Taylor, with that being said, with Miami having a record to play for,
with New England not really having anything to play for other than pride
and keeping Miami to play through them,
but I think the difficult mismatch to be played tonight.
How the first 40 seconds have gone.
An important record they've come forward to try.
Very aggressive when they go down a goal.
Wrestles.
New England for a ninth win when conceding.
Brioni.
Who were on the 2021 team.
Then to Argentina, and because of that, beginning today.
For Argentina midweek.
We had a long season pass on Apple TV.
They don't know their opponent.
For Miami.
Over to Luis Suarez.
Just as high as 30 miles per hour.
Played what ended up being just one match.
Tried to get it back to Suarez.
Arriaga recovered.
Back to Robert Taylor.
Towards the back post over every.
With three points.
They have to win to have any chance.
That is.
Yannick Bright.
Tries to bite off a little tumor.
And a little bit more simpler.
It's going to be easier for him.
Particularly in the buildup to spread out into Miami.
Get there.
I think there's some players playing for their contracts next season.
Suarez.
First time.
Ivicic.
Scrolling.
Goes wide.
Well, with the return of Martinez in the back line.
Busquets is then going to sit as that metronome.
Very deep.
It allows Jordi Alba to have real freedom going forward.
Taylor.
Here's Grussell.
Ivicic makes the save.
First clean look for Miami tonight.
Ivicic up to the task.
There's so much freedom from their players.
The ability to come inside.
Taylor losing his defense.
Taken away by Bright.
For Taylor.
Still Robert Taylor.
Blockerevich.
Grioni open in the middle.
Bayrakterevich couldn't get it for Luka Langone.
I'll be last.
Second chance.
And he can set the record.
New England.
Strikes first to keep the record.
In Massachusetts.
Just like in April at Foxborough.
New England Revolution scored an early goal.
It's Langone.
And it's 1-0.
The Achilles heel.
The supporter shield winning.
Inter-Miami is defending in transition.
And we talked about it in the pregame four months ago.
The New England Revolution made a club record signing.
And going out and get Luka Langone from Boca Juniors.
And he talks so much about the presence of Lionel Messi in Major League Soccer.
And in Miami.
Made him make that decision to come to Major League Soccer.
A little lucky that that ball deflects from Alvarez on the top of Langone.
But right in front.
Trying to play that with the outside of his left.
If he uses the inside.
It's Miami.
Jordy Alba looking for Suarez.
Ariaga.
Grioni does well to knock it down to Barrero.
Base for Miami.
Suarez nutmegs Ariaga.
Moments in order to get to the next level.
Under 22.
Six players in all representing.
Miami 2 for New England on that list.
To the top looking for Taylor.
By there.
Kramaskia.
Sands takes it away.
And then is fouled by Wegant.
When the Revolution are so compact,
you've got to have a center back that can open up the field.
What a ball from Alvarez just to spread that.
Now it's back to Polster.
Nobody there.
Nobody crashing for him.
Again, it's New England who look very dangerous in transition.
Ball tied for the few scores scored in all of Major League Soccer this year.
They have been very good early on this game.
Robert Taylor.
Right.
Taylor.
Barrero.
It's given.
It's a goal for New England.
An error from Drake Callender in the end.
Barrero pokes it in.
It's 2-0 Revolution on decision day.
The assistant referee on this side raised his flag
that he saw the ball go over the line.
It doesn't matter.
Wegant hits it into his own ball.
It is unbelievable how the ball has just bounced against
inner Miami in this first half.
There's nothing much you can say other than Drake Callender
with an absolute shocker in the moment.
He has come up with incredible saves for inter-Miami,
and this a moment he will certainly want back.
And still Suarez.
Corner for Miami.
Amazing at times.
37-year-old, big question marks about his durability coming into this year.
It's his 27th appearance in Major League Soccer.
Taylor.
Oh, gets a nutmeg.
Chance.
This one is low.
To the top of the 18.
Across.
And the foul.
England have already found a goal past Drake.
Jordi Alba.
Robby there.
Cycle it to Jordi Alba.
Now into Suarez.
Gets it.
Never touched the ground.
Luis Suarez.
It's to the back post.
Wegant off the ball.
We're offside.
So close.
Extremely close.
And the idea comes from Alba running over the ball.
I think Wegant's in an offside position.
Because right when Suarez cuts this back.
Martinez continuing his run.
It's Suarez.
And Luis Suarez, his 19th goal of the season,
has cut the lead in half.
And he has come from the center back, stepping into the midfield.
Great recognition with the Revolution defending so deep
that Martinez is just going to step into this midfield.
He breaks the initial line but continues to run.
Just great understanding of where he is on the field.
Where the most impactful run is going to come from.
And it's not the first two runners.
It's the one behind them.
And Luis Suarez and a classical finish from a classical number 9.
19th of the year.
2-1.
The most dangerous opportunities have been the Revolution to Barrero.
Martinez there.
Barrero and his pace a little bit closer to Frione.
Yuki.
Cutting two against two in their back line.
Cresso for Wegant.
Suarez.
Back post.
Acrobatic.
Into La Familia.
Well, that corner was straight from the training ground.
You threw a bunch of players to the—
Here's Suarez cutting it back.
Suarez again!
Class is permanent.
Talent is permanent.
One of the best strikers of his generation.
Single-handedly bringing Miami back level in this match with two goals minutes apart.
Yeah, but someone explain to me how the number 9 on the opposite team, 25, 30 yards from goal,
can turn with no pressure on the ball for 7 to 8 yards.
This is inexplicable.
This is why the Revolution have given up the second most goals in all of MLS.
You cannot allow a player, any player for that matter, turn and run right at your back line.
No stop for the ball.
No stop in that finish from Luis Suarez.
And in the blink of an eye, it's 2-2.
Any sign he was going to have that kind of year.
And yet here—
Goes back to Kremoski.
Kremoski's shot was blocked.
This match is kicking off simultaneously for New England to Julian Gressel.
This one to the near post.
Aviles tries to flick it on.
To Messi, back to Jordi Alba.
And a—
I swear it's not that easy.
He makes it look like it is.
And every single time, I've been fortunate enough to be in the building where he plays,
whether it's 90 minutes, 60 minutes.
It doesn't matter, 5 minutes it could be.
It doesn't matter.
The technical quality is always evident.
But between the ears, he is operating at a level that has never been seen in the game before him.
He and Messi.
It's 3-2.
In 20 seconds since he's come under the—
Might Gressel behind.
It's a beautiful ball.
Gressel across.
Oh, Dave Romney keeping it from Suarez, keeping New England on top.
Well, the wind playing a part of this one.
Because Wo Sanz gets caught a little bit with Gressel getting in behind.
But the ball just frees up.
The target.
He brings it down.
Off a five, Jordi Alba's volley.
He's going to be exhausted from chasing the game.
What a ball that is.
Oh!
Oh my goodness.
And just wide.
Brioni gives a thumbs up.
Another chance for New England.
Nariaga.
Messi!
Potentially sealing a record-setting season for Inter-Miami.
Unstoppable.
Completely undressing the New England Revolution back line.
Great little touch here.
He floats into space.
But watch him lose Nariaga with that little bit of a feint.
And was there any doubt that the moment he loses Nariaga with a dip of the shoulder
and cuts it to his left,
there is zero chance that ball is going nowhere other than the back of the net.
2021 Revolution.
We're led by their number 10, Carlos Gil.
The 2024 Inter-Miami record.
Positions tells you if you're not perfect.
What a season it's been for Inter.
Suarez for Gressel.
Position.
Javier Les towards Suarez.
As well to find Yusuf.
This half.
Javier Les will get there first.
What a certain somebody gets up out of his seat.
Kramowski.
Jordi Alba to Suarez who's out wide.
Tries to cut inside of Bai.
Bai will serve.
Dangerous ball.
A miss from Brioni.
Could not turn it on frame.
Yeah, but this is where Caeleb Porter wants to impact this team
and get the Revolution.
Jordi Alba.
Suarez trying to leave it.
It was red-blue sketch.
Jordi Alba.
He's on a hat trick.
He leaves it right.
Maybe another chance for Messi.
He's in.
Messi.
It's a show tonight.
It's the cherry on top of the greatest regular season in Major League Soccer history.
Bow down to Messi they say at Chase Stadium.
Yeah, but someone's got to recognize the ball played from Jordi Alba
is absolutely ridiculous.
Because if you took a freeze frame of what he saw
versus what the rest of the players saw on the field,
nobody would have thought that this ball is going to be played in
at the right pace in behind.
But that little bit of a dink, he goes in behind.
And the Revolution back line is in no man's land.
The way they've been and where they've been the entire regular season
in MLS.
Deflection from Dave Rodney or not, it is 4-2.
And it's Messi.
Here's Suarez.
Couldn't quite handle it.
The set piece.
Grussell near post.
Suarez!
Knocking on the door for the third goal.
Grussell.
Danger.
Jordi Alba across.
He'll be there for money.
Messi broken up momentarily.
Gomez.
Towards Yusef.
It's Bobby Wood.
Over Suarez.
Romney.
Play continues.
Messi!
We'll get it back.
Gives it away.
Dermoski trying to get there.
Opportunities because Miami is sloppy with the ball.
Flicking.
Suarez across.
Messi!
His first hat trick in pink.
On the final day of the regular season, let there be no doubt,
this is the greatest regular season team the league has ever seen.
Led by greatest player the sport has ever seen.
6-2 on decision day.
How do you commentate over these pitchers?
What do you want me to say?
I can't describe this pass from Suarez.
Revolution were leading 2-0.
2-0!
Six goals later.
And in any conversation where you twist and turn yourself into a pretzel,
trying to convince yourself that Messi is not the most valuable player in MLS,
he just reminds you.
It is Messi.
His 18th goal of the season.
Potentially his 16th.
Holster.
Guerrero settling.
Back post.
