WHAT HAPPENED? Messi assisted Campana for the second time of the evening, this time coming up clutch in the 97th minute to equalize and send the match to extra-time.
The first came in the 68th minute, when Messi found Campana from a free kick to cut FC Cincinnati’s lead to 2-1. Cincy has seized the lead through goals from their two superstars, Luciano Acosta and Brandon Vazquez.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Messi had scored in each of his first seven games since arriving, leading Inter Miami to the club’s first-ever trophy in the League’s Cup.
WHAT NEXT FOR MESSI?: Messi and Miami will be back in action this weekend as they face the New York Red Bulls in his first MLS match.
