Lionel Messi vs San Diego | Amazing Goal & Performance!🔥🐐 (20/09/2026)

Another trophy and here comes Leo Messi Rodrigo DePaul and enter Miami off of another trophy. Now four years in a row Leo Messi in Miami with at least one trophy one. Okay to stand connected. They're more cohesive. It's going to make them more dangerous, particularly in this building as for San Diego, they'll always have a lot of the ball. It doesn't matter if Messi Santo starting for San Diego today. He was an inter Miami goalkeeper from 2022 to 2000 and twenty-four. Last year, we were one game away from this being MLS Cup. It didn't come to be tonight. Goals in pink now for Leo Messi. Four straight seasons since his arrival with at least one trophy. Wednesday night, the Campeones Cup. Two nil over Cruz Azul in this building. Now, the focus to have the ball. San Diego, the most possession of any team in Major League Soccer over 57%. Miami with Messi always wanted. We've seen this with expansion teams. As of late now, LAFC and Atlanta United, they kind of trumped that. They they now in his third season in Miami. Here's Messi. Ian Murphy defended that well for San Diego. And San Diego, they listed the lineup as a 4-3-3. It is not playing that way. It is last week on Sunday night soccer, a five nil loss to the Philadelphia Union, the largest loss in club history. He had it in the World Cup. Referee not buying into any of those games early on here. Again, broken up well. San Diego has not this year and yet there's still something to salvage in this season for San Diego but you gotta chase Messi right now in order to salvage anything. Oh, a team is sitting in. What a ball this is. Dreyer is in. Honors Dreyer to open the scoring for San Diego. Oh, what a goal. Honors Dreyer. Substitutes. Both pretty much immediately got a straight red and Keeley Gonzalez was there in the locker room to comfort Leo Messi after his red card not even a minute into his debut. That's stuffing pressure into Miami. Casemiro into Messi and there's goal. Here's Thor Halsen into the middle. Assure he can't get to it as Casemiro sends forward. Messi to Suarez. In Major League Soccer. Oh, Keeley Gonzalez is figured Miami's going to play everything in front of you and then the one player you don't expect to make a direct run over the top, he does. Messi finds Galarza. Galarza will send it over. Taylor, it's what you're talking about. It's the spacing right now. Now, this is promising for Miami. Messi might be in. Oh, the number dos Santos getting a touch. He's been front and ahead and Murphy just gets caught baited a little bit but timely run but great recovery from Pilcher to just throw off Messi and able to hit this with his right foot. Pilcher slides over. He still gets a touch and then Murphy's Miami's pressure and they win it. Messi. I'm sure he's going to be asked. 100 goals for Inter Miami. Scored his 100th in spectacular fashion in the Campeon has come. About 25 yards from his former teammate, CJ Dos Santos. Messi clips this one in all the way through. He just put it into a dangerous spot. San Diego couldn't deal with it and Miami have equalized. 1-1. Well, keep in mind, is Casemiro offside when this ball is whipped in? I don't think he is because Tor Halson's off the back post in the back shoulders of San Diego but this is just as dangerous of a ball as any goalkeeper will tell you. In swinging ball, any kind of deflection or no deflection could cause a nightmare to defend. CJ Dos Santos, former Inter Miami goalkeeper. Not good enough to deal with that ball in swinging. DePaul to Messi. Messi. It's saved. It's a corner. You gotta be kidding me. The only one in the stadium. The only one in the world that saw this pass. Tor Halston's gotta be careful. He's kept on two attacks from Casemiro on that moment. As Miami is now the second player in MLS history with three straight seasons of twenty or more goals. The accolades, the history continues to be made by the greatest player of all time. He started seven of eight. Since League's Cup, basically he's been the starter for San Diego. The only issue for CJ Dos Santos and now a corner for Messi and Miami. Dos Santos will catch company. Messi battling with Murphy and Messi is called for a foul. Yeah, that's good for five minutes in this first half. The player comparison is presented by Celsius, pure passion, and maximum energy. Plenty of time. Picks out Suarez in the middle. Forward to Messi. Messi on his left around Tor Halston. Dos Santos. Big save to keep this one one just before halftime. It's truly remarkable what they can do. Find the spaces. Casemiro set that entire thing up and yet Messi floats. Three San Diego defenders. Miami closed it down. Now Dos Santos just gives it away. Oh, what a ball. Casemiro. Messi. It's blocked by Pilcher. Caicedo sliding in. It's off of him last. Couple nervy moments from San Diego's goalkeeper. You just gotta be so mindful where you. He's been really good today denying his former teammate a go ahead goal just before halftime. Messi as it's 1-1 and we are almost now finally ready to begin the second half. Quick diagnosis on the one that was exchanged with the trainer, but it was just a single shoe. It was not a spike issue. Here is Messi trying to get around to Bereskov. It's Bertarame. Yeah, and one thing that has surprised me this year for Miami is just how difficult Bertarame has taken. DePaul makes its way to Messi over to Suarez. Great step from two runs, but he's sure he's a vertical player. He's a dynamic player. If they can get a little bit more from him in the attack, it will give him a good step from Yannick Bright. Now Yannick Bright into the middle. Messi. What a save. Dos Santos again. His chances. Yes, he may have seven goals scored on the year, but he easily could have had 12 or 13. How about Yannick Bright? Wins possession. Quick little step over. I think Messi and Miami thought they had their second goal of the night and yet CJ Dos Santos again with a timely save. Bertarame, Messi. Back to Bertarame. Suarez. Rodrigo DePaul drives it in. Headed away. Messi forward towards Moura. Pilcher steps in to win the ball. In the opening 11, now 12 minutes of the second half. Messi gets it poked away from behind. And the referee doesn't blow the whistle. I'm not sure it's conclusive that he was off. So it's still 1-1. Press from Miami. Suarez to Bertarame. There is, and now it's Leo Messi broken up, taken away well by Tverskov. Knocking it back in. Bright winning it back. Messi looking for Galarza. They are leaving themselves exposed. Very similar to how they have the entire early parts of this year. Free kick coming in a real dangerous spot. Dua doesn't like the decision. Now Messi stands 25 yards from CJ Dos Santos. 1-1 in the 60th minute. Can Messi pull Miami ahead? It is Messi. It takes a deflection. Dos Santos scrambling. He got a touch. It will be a corner for Miami. Diego give it away. DePaul into Messi. Messi over to Suarez. Dos Santos to change his direction. Slide over and make the save. Four goals in his last five games. Messi sending it into the middle. San Diego really struggling. Messi on it again. They just cannot hold on to the ball in the second half. DePaul floating it. Dua heads away. It's not a 4-3-3. This has been playing like a 5-3-2. As Messi curls just wide. He got it in his special spot. It's inevitable. It's inevitable. It's a inevitable. It is inevitable, Jake. As many defenders as you can have around him. Again, losing possession. You get Messi in a little bit of space. He will pull you in a direction and find that little bit of a half a yard. That's a big giveaway by San Diego. DePaul steps forward to take it off Godoy. Now it's Leo Messi. Messi slides it to Suarez. Hops it over to DePaul. DePaul floating it to the back post. Shaw knocking it down. Bertarame leaving. Suarez. Antos not out of play yet. DePaul into the middle. Dreier clears away. Messi tried to play more. Can there be a little bit more shape? We've seen very little cohesiveness and compactness from Miami. DePaul into Messi. Keeping it away from Alvarado. Messi. Bertarame still into Suarez. A goal that had been come after chance after chance. They take the lead and it's Luis Suarez. Pressure forces the giveaway. Alexander Shaw cutting inside. Sliding it forward to Messi. Messi tried to get it to Moura. It's broken up by San Diego. They got their final two matches at home up in Fort Lauderdale. Happy to take time out of this match with a two to one lead. Just surprised San Diego. Hard work. Able to get it back to Suarez. Now Messi with time in the middle of the pitch. Yannick Bryce away from Alvarado Jr. Hands off to Messi. Over to Shaw. Messi tumbles down. Restart coming from Miami. San Diego Casemiro direct into Suarez. Knotting it down towards Messi McVay there. Suarez was offside. Messi. Still Messi into the middle. Cut out well by Diverska. And then when Messi hit the shot, does it hit the arm of the defender? It does, but the arm was in a natural position. There's no penalty there for me. Both moments cleared. Ball back into play. Reggie Lone in the middle. I am a little surprised we're in the game. Uh oh. Dreyer is through. Dreyer has flexed down. It's homegrown. The rust into the match in the most important time. The final minute before added time. 2-2. San Diego and into Miami. Messi standing over the restart. Clipping it into the area. Not clear. Suarez unable to get the shot away for now. A scramble in the box. Still not clear. Takes a deflection. It's a corner given on the field. It's going to be very close. DePaul. Leo Messi into Suarez. Trying to turn. It's Messi. Quick shot. Saved Dos Santos. Got down to his right and pushed it around the post. Shaw a touch to Messi. Back to Shaw. DePaul. Still Rodrigo DePaul. By San Diego. Not clear. Casemiro. Reggie Lone. DePaul. Leaves for Messi. Messi on his right foot again. Dos Santos. Miami. One win in their last nine MLS games.
