The front four, fluid in their movement.
Korbenu, he will keep his position out wide
while Sequentes, Mihaljevic and Etienne Jr.
Allende, he brings fresh legs around the pair of Messi and Suarez
who both played 90 minutes midweek.
For Messi, he's on a tear.
What a way to kick off Match Day 37 in Major League Soccer.
Can Miami's march continue down by the lakeside?
We're about to find out as away we go on Apple TV.
The TFC in all reds.
The project, the Italian job didn't quite work.
This is Insigne and Bernadeschi off the pass now.
I mentioned earlier, Bernadeschi was the one who actually scored in Miami
in the one-all draw.
Messi was the man who scored for Miami.
And here is De Paul.
And this is Lionel Messi.
Sets it up.
And Johnson makes a save as Rodriguez from Croatia.
He's got De Paul in the corner there.
And he's trying to thread an eye in the needle stuff
when you've got De Paul just breathing down the neck of Sequentes.
That's a solid strike.
It's one that Johnson should be making.
There's a few bodies around.
But Rodriguez, he releases.
Hoped not to go early.
This is De Paul.
Busquets.
Lionel Messi.
Great save.
Sean Johnson reached up.
And he got a really strong hand in the first season.
Well, this is where Inter-Miami's manager doesn't think this man should retire.
Busquets just feeds it right into the path of Messi.
As Rosario is outstretched.
Nothing he can do about it.
The weight of this pass, it's right onto the foot of Messi.
And as he sets it, he's going for the corner.
Some save.
He's got a unique skill set.
But he's got the swagger, too.
Seen him at times.
He's here almost calling on defenders.
He's dribbling at fullbacks.
And he's saying, come on, with his hand motioning.
Bring it on.
Boyo.
Onto his right.
And a shoot.
And Astari wasn't taking any chances.
Gets a touch to it.
Turns it behind.
TFC corner.
This technical ability.
But we don't see this often enough.
Is in the final third.
Having a straight ticketed on.
That's a solid hit.
Just wonder whether it's going to slip.
Here's Messi.
Won it in 2005.
And that's cleared away.
Toronto doing such a good job at preventing those little slip passes.
Now a couple have gotten through.
But for the most part, they're getting bodies in that line.
To help get the ball in.
It wasn't cleared.
And it's Messi.
And it's another really good save from Sean Johnson.
Who then uses his feet to gather the ball.
There's a little bit of afters in there as well.
As in went Suarez.
The ball was loose for a moment.
Messi thwarted again.
And a yellow card.
Scooping back up with his feet.
As Rose said, initially he gave a good shout.
Because it was there for him to go and clear.
But he doesn't get his feet right.
That's what the yellow card is for Suarez.
Pushing over Thompson.
It's Johnson.
It just gets enough away from him.
Is he not entitled?
I mean it's a loose ball.
Keeper's not got it in his hands.
At the end of this first half.
And that has got the crowd into this a bit more as well.
Here comes Alba.
Look at all the pink shirts in the middle.
Hung up.
Back post.
And hanging in.
Perfect positioning.
A perfect cross.
To beat Sean Johnson.
And on the stroke of halftime.
The cross as you can see.
As Alba, when he gets wide.
He gets sucked in towards the runs coming central.
And he doesn't get out quick enough.
And then Alba.
The height.
The whip.
And the precision of Allende.
Just peeling off of his Mark Thompson.
That is right on the money.
From Alba.
This is where TFC had plenty of the ball.
Picked up by Osorio.
Just wide.
And taking it.
Nureyev is outside him.
It's Richie Nureyev.
The cross in.
Korbinow is there.
And so is Mihajlovic.
Didn't expect it to come to him.
It's now with Osorio.
And Nureyev can get to this.
And he can cross it.
Mihajlovic is there.
In by Robin Peja's side.
And it's stunned by Korbinow coming back in and winning the ball.
But then they release the numbers going forward.
And as that ball is flashed across.
Mihajlovic.
It's a heavy touch by him.
And he thought the moment would get away.
But they continued on.
And just that slip pass from Osorio.
Nureyev does so well.
Just to keep that in and flash it across goal.
Little scoop pass from Osorio.
It cuts out two defensive players that are in Miami.
And Mihajlovic needed this.
He needed a goal.
The 8 million dollar man that has come in.
Has been brought in for big games.
Big matches.
To provide a victory.
20 minutes played.
Second half.
These are big.
Big minutes in this game.
Koaysio goes from distance.
And wide of the target.
So much power.
We saw it in the first half.
Koaysio.
He's just surveying.
He's looking for options.
And decides.
When it opens up.
He can go himself.
Say you want to settle it down.
And Korbanu.
In Miami.
They don't want to get stretched.
Korbanu is doing just that.
And here he goes.
He needs help.
Plays it all the way across.
And Falcone got there.
Just in front of Derrick Etienne Jr.
Who would have had a tap in.
It's a little better.
Because he's disappointed at first.
That the ball doesn't come out to him.
And he needs to gamble.
But he hasn't gone back post.
He hasn't come back towards the ball.
As well making a run central.
And Korbanu.
He does so well.
Koaysio.
One of those beautiful lofted passes over the top.
But Allende.
Suarez breaking towards the near post initially.
He goes back for Weigand.
He hangs it up.
Towards the back post.
Knotted down.
This is Segovia.
Messi arriving.
It's Lionel Messi.
It's another right save.
From Sean Johnson.
Three times now.
He's denied the goats.
The fact that his defender.
Is forcing Messi.
To take that shot.
He can't come back across goal.
He still does well.
Johnson.
Thompson.
He takes away that far side.
And so he has to go.
To Johnson's right.
And Johnson.
He knows it.
Reads the situation.
It's a good solid strike.
But he can start to move already.
Falcone.
With a distraction.
Messi hits it.
Saved again by Johnson.
Pretty comfortable in the end.
He was right behind that.
It was comfortable.
Because Johnson.
He doesn't cheat.
He stays there.
And he thinks.
Right.
If he goes over the wall.
Then so be it.
He can go and get his goal.
Segovia racing for it.
And the referee will blow his whistle.
And Miami thwarts it.
And Bimo feels.
Messi unable to add to the tally.
Of 24.
Everless goals.
For the season.
