Chicago Fire FC vs. Inter Miami CF | Full Match Highlights | 63,000 WATCH Messi and Lewandowski!

Robert Lewandowski leading the line. Chicago are unbeaten at home in MLS this season in 10 games, seven wins, three draws. They're going to run and flank Lionel Messi, who's given the freedom to go find the game wherever he may need to. But the number to remember is Miami have scored. Those two guys have met on the field, Robert Lewandowski and Leo Messi. Each have two wins in their previous two meetings. Who will break the tie, so to speak? A really important game in the Eastern Conference. It's the Chicago Fire hosting Inter-Miami in a sold out soldier field. Chicago team on the front foot to begin this game. Zinkernagel broken up by Falcone. Koopman to Haile Selassie. Jonathan Dean forward. Anton Saletros looking for Lewandowski. He leaves it. Lob and load! Oh, over. What a chance for Chicago. Seven minutes in. Miami and then get runners in front. Great little run here. Brilliant run. And I love the awareness from Lewandowski. He and Miami's been a little flat footed, a little slow. They haven't been good in possession, but there is a real crispness to the movement off the ball, the two touch passing. Chicago looks up for it. Now, you and I did this game. What was it, six weeks ago? Yeah. July 22nd, 3-2 Miami Town in South Florida. It's a different game. Lewandowski's really grown into himself, understanding what Major League Soccer is. We knew that would happen that night. He wasn't as solid as he's been with five goals, two assists already to his name. That was Robert Lewandowski's debut. No Leo Messi, no Casemiro, no Rodrigo Dupal in that game. Koopman, good ball, Lewandowski heavyweights. Robert Lewandowski lands the first blow. Chicago lead 1-0. Ten minutes in. No Bain, and that No Bain is inside the 18 yard box. Brilliant ball from Andrew Koopman. With pace away from the goalkeeper, but the movement, the timing and then the one touch finish. Three of the top four all time leading goal scorers in world football in this game. Robert Lewandowski lands the first punch. What a finish. 1-0 Chicago fire. Lewandowski direct looking for Bertarame. Elliott chasing Bertarame. Oh, what a south. Well, that's a great ball from Casemiro. Lewandowski was putting pressure on him. Wonderful look from Bertarame to get in behind. And I love the first time look. Brady's made two really good saves. Great little touch. That is a big time save from the U.S. International. Trying to find the ball on the return. Unable to. Great spot from Yannick Bright. Wins it. Now this is Messi. Brady goes down, makes the save comfortably on the front foot. They can turn it over quickly. That's oftentimes the most space you'll ever have. Robert Lewandowski gave this first half. It's one big moment. The goal just 10 minutes in. Messi away from Solletros. And then Davila. This is Leo Messi. Oh, Brady. Great save. ...are vulnerable. They're sitting in. They're not known for their defensive prowess. And now all of a sudden it allows Lionel Messi and company to then take it to them. Brady's made two wonderful saves in this first half. One down to his right. This one down to his left. Suarez leaves Segovia. Bertarame over to Frey. Back to DePaul. Bright. Messi. Bertarame. Still. Now he'll try it. Brady, another save. Not clear, though. Suarez across. Brady, an important touch. And gets on it. For a goalkeeper, one to be a strong hand, but to see this through the numbers. Great save. And then he scored a bicycle kick that was the number one play on SportsCenter. Story time's over. Let's go. Before Inter-Miami, we're Messi and friends. That was the original Messi and friends. And now it is the second half. It is Chicago hosting Inter-Miami in front of a sold-out Soldier Field with the fire leading 1-0. Robert Lewandowski, 10 minutes in. Taylor, Chicago started this game so well. They were all over Miami from either team at halftime. Chris Brady, three saves in the first half. Robert Lewandowski, the goal for Chicago. A match that, as the half wore on, Miami looked closer and closer to finding an equalizer, but were unable to. Miami forced the giveaway. Messi's onside. Messi cutting it. Bertarame trying to leave it for Messi. He has it. Messi! Another save from Brady. Oh, what a block! Noah Allen there to deny his former teammate. The former Inter-Miami Academy player, Noah Allen. As this play develops, the ball pops loose. Somehow, Messi gets it through the defender. And I think Bertarame, as he sees Brady save this, the ball pops out. He thinks it's 1-1. Right before the shot is taken. Oh, he's got it! Remarkable! What a weapon he's become! I hold it. When it comes off, and Noah Allen blocking the rebound attempt from Bertarame. But suspect set-piece defending from the Chicago Fire. Falcone, Casemiro, Bertarame, all wide open inside the penalty box, and just a clinical header back against the grain. The only thing Chris Brady can't get a hand on. Will he try it, or will he look for a teammate? Messi is gonna try it, and Brady read that well. Sends it out for another corner. Run-up. And the angle that Messi was taking, that he was looking to hit this no matter what. Now it feels like they're on their heels. Again, Messi's corner. All the way to DePaul. DePaul right at Brady. Saletros drives this in. Oh, boy. Jack Elliott was there. For Jack Elliott or anyone trying to get on the end of this. Because all you're trying to do is flick it on, redirect it anywhere on goal, and Dane Sinclair can't read it. It's really good defending. Just to throw off the attacking player and Bertarame. The game has opened up. The referees put his whistle in his pocket. Chicago Fire have to take advantage of this. The energy in the building, it's different now. They've got, oh. Oh, detention! Oh my goodness, right at him. Miami scored his first goal, didn't he? Yep. Tough giveaway there, but to win that ball. Look at Zincronago. He's in. Zincronago sending a detention! Just over. Chicago Fire, win possession, play forward. You pick up your head. You've got two runs, two layered runs. One on the back post, one in the near post. Little difficult for Detejant in front of Dane Sinclair. Saletros for Chicago. Great ball. Drives this in. Back post, oh! Sinclair makes the save. That was on goal. Saletros knew what he was doing. Sinclair had to reach up and paw it away. Now Miami. In the first minute of a minimum six of added time, Bertarame threw for Shaw. Broken up well by Barroso. Look at the hustle from Bertarame and Elliott. Shoulder to shoulder throw coming for Miami. Messi. Tried to get it in to Bertarame. It was broken up. Bright sprays it to DePaul. DePaul is gonna try it. Allen clears away, only as far as Casemiro. Falcone to Bright. Casemiro to DePaul. DePaul again. Bertarame went over his head. Shaw leaving. Messi's shot was blocked. Brady will come catch. Saletros is hurt and he's asking for a sub, but he hasn't gone down yet. He immediately gestured to the bench that he needs to come out. Play is continuing. Mauricio Pineda is with Nico Estevez, Chicago's assistant right now. But again, the play continues. Suarez trying to clip it in. Ends up with Messi around Saletros, who gets his hands up. And it's a set piece for Inter-Miami. Can he come up with another save? Messi, he's just trying to drive it with Chase. That distance is too difficult, I think. Chicago can't clear. Suarez. Alexander Shaw. Shaw floats it, didn't keep it in play. And it's a goal kick. Not as clear-cut opportunities and kind of fitting that the game ends 1-1. In front of a record crowd of over 63,000 at Soldier Field, Inter-Miami and the Chicago Fire play.
