Lionel Messi Stunning Goal | Match Highlights (May 3, 2026)

Lionel Messi loves playing against Orlando City. Eight goals in five games against his rivals. He likes to let them know about his success as well. Martino Heyda has had success against Miami. Luis Suarez making his second straight start and his second straight start alongside Herman. This wonderful contrast of pink and purple. Drops deep and then hands off to Lionel Messi. He tried to get it behind. Govia clips the ball into the box. Back post. Suarez across. Still somehow Suarez leaving. Messi blocked. Iago and Dorsey both in the way. Corner coming for Miami. It's crazy to think that they won. Hosting Orlando City. These teams met on March 1st. Govia again to the back post. Ian Frey! So desired. 1-0. Well, and it's going to be extremely close because initially in live action it felt like Ian Frey was a step ahead of his mark. He was, but the question will be whether or not VAR looks at the defender behind Ian Frey that is Luis Otavio. The young Brazilian. He's on the bench but unable to start. It's a great start for Miami. Alan Thomas! That was beautifully worked from inter-Miami and it's something they've seen too often this season. A sitter for Bertarame. Yeah, but look at the understanding between Suarez building against the opponent with the players on the other team. They can overwhelm you. Suarez. Big switch. Looking for Frey again. Marine there. Segovia from behind. Ojeda holds him off. Ellis trying to get a Segovia. Might fall to Messi. Dorsey not able to clear it. Fourth match in charge for Guillermo Follos, the interim head coach he's expected to do. Again, here comes Miami. DePaul trying to— Wonderful attacking moments. Frey! Suarez couldn't quite turn it on goal. Let's see. Messi into Bertarame. Settles well. Tries to pop it back to Messi. Orlando City also with an interim manager. Running at Allen. Dorsey across. Broke it up by Micaeli. Ojeda has space. Ojeda can hit it. Oh, and it's just over. There is a real indifference with the midfield. Way by Suarez. Messi. Oh, Johnson just tackles him from behind. Iago was there as well. An obvious goal-scoring opportunity, but it will be a very— Here's Lionel Messi. Messi! Saved by Cray Paul. The follow. Saved again. Frey now. Suarez batted away by Cray Paul. Now DePaul from— Four saves from Maxime Cray Paul to keep it 1-0. Well, the Canadian goalkeeper knew he was coming into this one, and he's going to be tested. He's been tested early on. The first save he probably could have done a little bit better with, but the reaction quickly getting to his feet. Then he makes two successive saves, and then the final one. Big time from the Canadian international. Upper 90, getting off his feet. Segovia cutting inside. Try to get it to Messi. Broken up to Messi. Sending this one off. Cray Paul has to touch it over. And he goes into the other side of the net now. Third straight corner coming for Miami. I mean, it's a million— Well, the Olympic goal. How many times has he tried it? He's trying it again. It's an— Oh, my goodness. It almost snuck in. It'll be a corner again. Well, I think Cray Paul ran into the goalpost. And Maxime Cray Paul is down and in some pain. To Messi. Narrow angle. It's 2-0. It's all Miami in the first 25 minutes tonight. It's just crazy to think that Suarez, first touch, lets him down. And yet the space, the angle, in the pass that he plays into Lionel Messi to create this opportunity. And these players, the last thing you want to do is allow them to build momentum. I'm just— Sorry, you try to pontificate, you try to put together— Messi clipping it in. Suarez settling. Tried to touch turn from Messi. Leaving for Darame. Cutting it back. Came off to keep it in play. He will. Clipping it to the back post. Suarez! The volley that came off Marine. And Luis Otavio was there to keep it in play and send it clear. Only— Here is Messi. Oh, wonderful skill! Wonderful! Just constantly floating, putting you in a bad spot. Otavio slides one way. Iago slides the other. And you've got two Brazilians. Short to DePaul. DePaul trying it from distance! Oh, what a— Miami want a fourth. Segovia! Krepo's got to make a save. Another corner coming. And a yellow card has, I think, been shown to Adrienne Marie. It was already for Krepo. Now, Messi looking for that Olimpico. And there's a foul called on Miami inside the six yard. Stays in play. Suarez takes a deflection. They got to clear it! Oh, somehow! Kept out by Orlando. And Bertarame's wondering if he can be any kind of part of this party tonight. That ball— Ojeda, Ojeda spinning. Ojeda hitting! Oh! Martino Ojeda, what a goal! And what an entertaining first half it has been at New Stadium. Ojeda gets one back for Orlando. It's 3-1. Yeah, but none of this happens if not for the 18-year-old Justin Ellis. One, he holds up the play, keeps possession. But then as the play develops, he's got to have the awareness here to drop off a foul called. Most players, young players, would take a touch. He doesn't. It's a just— Suarez sending it over towards Allen. Dormdane St. Clairson's coming to Miami. Bertarame wins another corner as Miami comes forward looking for a fourth. Segovia behind Suarez. But Bright tries to knock it into— Rodrigo to Paul will take this one. Over— Messi takes this corner. Flicked on. Suarez's volley came off of Ojeda. Miami will get another corner. Oh, he's going to an unbelievable volley. Krapo— Like they're all on the same— Oh. Messi behind. Krapo got there first. Messi was offside and the flag is raised. DePaul, big switch. He was trying to find Segovia who had— Forward to Thiago. Cutting it back. Mikael there. The second run, the second space, the second defending, whatever it may be. In here, just completely unnecessary. Over to Marine. Frey defending. He does well. Bertarame thinking about it. His shot was but a couple wonderful goals this season. He's trying to get around Ian Frey. He gets the cross. Miami. Messi clipping it. DePaul tried to leave it to Suarez and it was behind Suarez. Unselfish from Rodrigo DePaul. Ellis. Oh, deflection. Slides it to Segovia. Over. You just don't want to give Miami— Frey. Frey clipping it in. Bertarame off his head. Krapo. Allen settles. Cuts it back. Suarez. A difficult ball. Yourself into the final third very quickly with little shred. The initial line of pressure from Miami. There is no pressure and so— Messi cuts it. Bertarame cuts it back. Nobody was there. Segovia. He's going to carry forward. Messi. Into Dorsey. Back post. Nobody there for Orlando. McGuire's the center forward. He's got to be at his best for Orlando. Corner to Brian Ojeda is there and it came awkwardly off of his thigh. Dorsey. And nobody there. Frey will chest it down and can see the corner for Orlando City. Frey immediately went down and grabbed his— DePaul's going to keep coming. DePaul into the middle. It's Messi. Segovia. Messi broken up by Jantz. A 3v2. Messi keeping it himself with a heavy touch. Forward. My word. Messi still. Cleared by— He comes forward. Ojeda! My goodness. Bryce for Martín Ojeda. And Orlando City have pulled within a goal. Almost identical to the game in March. The number 10s from Argentina. One being the greatest ever and one in the greatest form of his life. Martín Ojeda last season was brilliant. Over 30 goal contributions in all of MLS. 39 in all competition. Allen with a ton of time. Allen cutting it across. Ojeda will clip this. Back post. Iago knocks it in! It was there! Marine touches it and it takes it away from Duncan McGuire. Iago was offside. Atuesta leaving Ojeda for a hat-trick! Dave St. Clair! Big save! Perhaps his biggest moment as a member of Inter-Miami to keep Miami in front. Holds up Mikael! McGuire from a narrow angle! Saved by St. Clair. Corner coming for Orlando. Yeah, but this is the Duncan McGuire Orlando City need. He's got the profile in the big body to play as a— Messi turning into Allende. Ojeda sends it in. Brian Ojeda's header. It's a penalty! Iago was down on the turf. Guido González Jr. says he was pushed from behind. And Orlando— That it's not a penalty. It's being checked as every— Ojeda scores! It is 3-3. A hat-trick for Martín Ojeda. Remember the win probability at the beginning of the second half? Less than 1% chance that Orlando City would win the game. Less than 3% chance that there'd be a draw. And yet, when you play Inter-Miami, you're gonna get your chances. Can you take them? Will you take them? Now Ojeda— Could it be a fourth? Spicer hits it into the crowd. It was off a base to somehow— Miami's completely in disarray. Completely falling apart. Degovia clipping it. DePaul cutting it. Virgil Ramínez again! Again. Now the flag is raised. It would have been offside. It doesn't matter. It doesn't— Get there. He does! Tyrese Spicer! Amazing! Improbable! Orlando City have come all the way— 4-3 made in Miami! Just want to remind the viewers here on Apple TV, in the 47th minute, we showed the win probability of Orlando City was less than 1% chance. But there was belief, belief within the 11 players on the field, that if they got—
