The Argentine Inter striker was once again the best on the pitch in a US Open Cup football game.
Lionel Messi left the field without a goal for the first time since his move to the US. It happened during the rivalry of the Argentine Inter Miami team against Cincinnati in the semifinal match of the US Open Cup.
In the middle of the second half, the Floridian lost to the opponent 0:2, and then Messi got down to business. Moreover, this time the legendary striker did not score himself, but gave two very beautiful and accurate passes to his teammate Leonardo Campana.
In extra time, the “herons” were able to take the lead for the first time in the match, when Joseph Martinez scored. However, it was not possible to maintain the advantage in the end – Cincinnati recovered in the 114th minute. However, Inter Miami won the penalty shootout – 5:4.
Ukrainian Inter Miami defender Sergey Kryvtsov played the entire match, receiving a warning in the 80th minute. In the final of the US Open Cup on September 27, Inter Miami will face the Houston Dynamo, fighting for the second trophy in their history.
