It was starting to seem like the honeymoon phase was finally over.
In extra time, a brutal error from Matt Miazga gifted Miami the ball, resulting in a Josef Martinez goal that seemed like it would be the deciding factor for the visitors from South Florida. But Yuya Kubo added to the chaos in the 114th minute to send the game to penalty kick shootout.
Miami, as it did just days prior in Nashville, prevailed as Benjamin Cremaschi scored the winner to keep this fairytale going. Cincy was probably seconds away in regulation from handing this new-look Miami squad its first loss and advancing to the final. Instead, it will be Messi and friends with a chance to win yet another trophy.
Messi’s debut was just a month ago and since then he has a goal and assist in every game he’s played. He scored 10 in seven Leagues Cup games, leading Miami to the club’s first hardware. He contributed with two sensational assists in the win over Cincy, which by his standards was a quiet game. However, in just his ninth game as a member of Inter Miami, Messi will have the chance to win his second trophy stateside. They await the winner of Real Salt Lake-Houston Dynamo which is currently taking place.
