🚨 Messi helps Miami rally in NYC; 10-man Cincinnati break MTL hearts More Major League Soccer action continued on Sunday. Here is what went down across the league. Messi helps Miami rally in NYC Scorers: Fernandez 17', Ojeda 59'; Lujan 4', Messi 61', Micael 74' It was a back-and-forth affair at Yankee Stadium, with Inter Miami eventually rallying for a 3-2 victory over an impressive New York City FC side.
When the visitors opened the scoring after only four minutes via Gonzalo Lujan's low drilled effort, it appeared they'd make light work of the hosts. However, a stunning free-kick from outside the box by Nicolas Fernandez lit the initial comeback threat. Then, some speedy pace after the break from Agustin Ojeda turned things around in City's favour as he split two defenders and slotted home beyond goalkeeper Dayne St.
Clair. Miami still weren't done, however, as Lionel Messi decided to have his say. The Argentina star scored a low, direct free-kick of his own, which deflected into the net for 2-2, all before Micael headed home the winner into the far back post for his first Miami goal.
The result goes down as NYCFC's first loss of the season (second place), while Miami (third) ensure they're level on points and just three back of leaders Nashville. 10-man Cincinnati break MTL hearts Scorers: Echenique 40', Jabbari 52', Barlow 80', Denkey 90+4'; Carmona 6', Owusu 45', 64' (P). Red : Robinson 60' This seven-goal contest was filled with plenty of drama as 10-man FC Cincinnati held on to beat Montreal 4-3 in the dying moments.
