Messi Magic Propels Inter Miami to Eastern Conference Final

Los Angeles, November 24, 2025 – Lionel Messi delivered a vintage performance on Sunday, leading Inter Miami to a resounding 4-0 victory over FC Cincinnati in the MLS Conference Semifinal. The Argentine superstar scored one goal and assisted on the other three, paving the way for Miami’s dominant win and securing their place in the Eastern Conference championship game.

Tadeo Allende scored twice for Inter Miami, while Mateo Silvetti added another goal. Inter Miami will host New York City FC next Saturday in a highly anticipated match that will determine who advances to the MLS Cup final. NYCFC, the 2021 MLS Cup champions, pulled off an upset victory over top-seed Philadelphia with a lone goal from Argentine forward Maxi Moralez.

Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano lauded Messi and the team’s performance, calling it “practically perfect.” “The players showed incredible character,” Mascherano said, emphasizing Messi’s contributions both on and off the ball.

Despite Cincinnati’s initial efforts, Inter Miami’s attacking prowess proved too much to handle. After a missed opportunity by Cincinnati, Miami capitalized, with Silvetti assisting Messi for the opening goal. Silvetti later scored himself, and Allende added two more goals off Messi assists, sealing the victory.

Inter Miami will now focus on their upcoming match against NYCFC, with the winner advancing to the MLS Cup championship game on December 6. In the Western Conference, Vancouver awaits their opponent in the West final.
