He among miami was losing 2-0 on the scoreboard against FC Cincinnati, to the astonishment of the fans who packed TQL Stadium in Ohio. The Argentinian Luciano Acosta and the American of Mexican origin Brandon Vázquez made the game pink with goals in the 18th and 53rd minutes, and for coach Gerard, the gap on the scoreboard became worrying. dad Martino…, but the Ecuadorian appeared Leonardo Campana.
Inter Miami could not be connected with Lionel Messi, and the new drawing still didn’t work. They got up little by little and ignored the backfield of the defense, which Cincinnati knew how to read very well.
The home team’s focus was obviously to spoil the counterattack, and thus the second goal.
Martino made changes introducing David Ruiz, Facundo Farías and Roberto Taylor. The draw was again the usual 4-3-3 and the challenge was enormous: only a thirty-minute lead to return.
With no opportunity to develop the game, Inter Miami’s goal had to come from a set piece in the 68th minute. Messi took it perfectly from the left and placed it on the head of Guayaquil’s Campana, who finished at will and before Kano who could only watch.
Already with Venezuelan Josef Martínez on the field, the Florida team put all the meat on the grill to force overtime, and the game became a two-way battle.
Inter Miami’s intentions grew in the nine minutes of extra time; every opportunity for dad Martino gave up on Cincinnati’s counterattack.
And again Campana and his head appeared, the same combination. The center was Messi for the Ecuadorian, who crossed and at 90+7 sent the game into overtime.
Lionel Messi found Leonardo Campana! 🔥

panel CBS Sports Big Goal You couldn’t believe what was in front of you. One of the commentators hallucinated the combination that Messi and Campana made to equalize. They did not come out of amazement.
“Woof! They repeated that combination again. It’s crazy! Messi arrived and made an incredible pass followed by a wonderful finish from Campana. They celebrated their feat with a hug.”
“Campana does it amazingly and hits the target. But look at that pass, folks. Messi takes everything into account so that Campana can do it. Messi is the type of player for whom the impossible is very easy. It magically becomes predictable for him. And now we go to overtime. We’ll see if something extra magical happens,” the story says.
Campana would leave the field after regular time.

It was already Martínez’s turn in overtime. Good high pressing, recovery for Alba and this time Benjamín Cremaschi “played Messi” by assisting the Venezuelan, who beat Kann between the legs.
Despite the win and the fact that Cincinnati was in a hurry, Inter Miami pressed high to prevent the opponent from kicking the ball out and they succeeded.
It had to be the Japanese Kubo, who asked for him the most since entering the second part, the one who equalized all emotions. He got a rejection and had the nerve to oblige her and make her unattainable for Callender.
In the 116th minute, the script had a free kick prepared for Messi to improve his short history in the United States, but this time he did not find the team.
In the penalty shootout, both teams were very reliable and converted the first four shots, while Nick Hagglund did not miss the fifth for the hosts, and Cremaschi, as in Dallas, scored the final goal for Inter Miami.
It is the first time Inter Miami has gone through a draw without Messi scoring.
