Messi, Inter Miami survive wild U.S. Open Cup semifinal vs. FC Cincinnati

It was starting to seem like the honeymoon phase was finally over.

But with Lionel Messi on your team, anything is possible.

Down 2-1 in stoppage time of the U.S Open Cup semifinals, Inter Miami needed a miracle to keep hopes alive. Luckily for the Herons, they have a player used to pulling those off.

Messi drifted into a little space and picked up his head to deliver an absurdly perfect ball to Leonardo Campana in the box. Just like that, a team that was down and almost out forced extra time after trailing 2-0 against FC Cincinnati.
