Florida –
Lionel Messi finally made a comeback in the Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati match. The Herons lost 0-1, and failed to make the Major League Soccer playoffs.
Playing at DRV PNK Stadium, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Sunday (8/10/2023) morning WIB, Inter Miami played against FC Cincinnati in the continuation of Major League Soccer. The match is quite important for the hosts, who are trying to chase a playoff ticket.
Before playing, Inter Miami collected 33 points and was still in 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings. Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino’s team have just collected 33 points, 7 points adrift of the 9th ranked team or the deadline to qualify for the MLS playoffs, which is occupied by DC United.
In the match against FC Cincinnati, Inter Miami brought Messi. The owner of 7 Ballon d’Or was on the bench, after missing the previous three matches.
In the first half, Inter Miami appeared to be pressing. However, no goals were scored, so the score was the same without a defensive goal.
Messi was then introduced by Inter Miami in the second half. La Pulga replaced Tomas Aviles in the 55th minute.
The entry of Messi adds to Inter Miami’s attacking power. But what can I do, I didn’t get a goal, instead the host conceded.
In the 78th minute, Alvaro Barreal was able to break through Inter Miami’s goal. The 1-0 score lasted until the match ended.
This result makes Inter Miami mathematically certain to fail to qualify for the playoffs. David Beckham’s club is still stuck in 14th position with 33 points, certain to fail to catch DC United, with two games remaining. Meanwhile, Cincinnati is firmly at the top of the Eastern Conference standings with 68 points from 33 matches.
