The Argentine legend Lionel Messi delivered another chapter of brilliance as he led Inter Miami to a resounding 4-0 victory over Cincinnati early Monday, securing the team's place in the Eastern Conference final of the American League for the first time in its history.
Messi scored one goal and provided three impressive assists, which were converted by Tadeo Allende into two goals, while Mateo Silveira added the fourth goal, continuing Miami's upward trajectory as the third seed before hosting New York City next Saturday in a decisive match.
Meanwhile, New York City secured their qualification after eliminating Philadelphia, the conference leader, with a goal from Argentine Maxi Morales, setting up a highly anticipated clash against Messi and his teammates.
New Historical Records for Messi
The performance in Cincinnati was not just a passing game; Messi (38 years old) equaled the historic record of Hungarian Ferenc Puskás by reaching 404 assists in his career, and he is also closer to reaching his 900th goal, needing just four more.
The "Little Flea" has reached 1300 goal contributions in 1135 matches, in a career that continues to break records despite his advancing age.
He has scored 46 goals this season and was crowned the top scorer of the American League, in addition to 23 goal contributions in the last 10 matches, leading the playoff scoring chart with six goals.
In the Western Conference, Vancouver Whitecaps await the winner of the match between San Diego, the leader, and Minnesota United.
