Lionel Messi and Inter Miami appeared to be out of gas after a rigorous Leagues Cup run, but they manage to create just the right amount of magic every time they take the field. The streak would continue when FC Cincinnati was faced up against in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals on the road.
The tough MLS table-toppers, who looked every bit the Supporters’ Shield leader for the opening hour, defeated Inter Miami 2-0, but Messi gave Leo Campana two assists to spark a late comeback, with the second coming seven minutes into extra time to tie the score at 2-2.
Inter Miami took the lead early in extra time on a goal from substitute Benji Cremaschi, but Yuya Kubo scored an own goal to tie the score for FC Cincinnati in the 114th minute.
Just days after winning the team’s first-ever title, Callender saved Nick Hagglund’s attempt in the fifth round of the penalty shootout to secure the victory. Cremaschi then converted his subsequent spot-kick to advance Inter Miami to yet another Cup final and preserve Messi’s undefeated record in pink.
Like Nashville SC before them, FC Cincinnati pounded Inter Miami early and frequently, but they missed several opportunities to seal the victory, which would come back to haunt them.
