VIDEO: Crazy end of the Cup! Messi once again showed his genius as he saved Inter Miami from elimination with an amazing assist at the end and is close to another trophy

Inter Miami advanced to the final of the U.S. Open Cup last night. A huge credit for this goes to Lionel Messi, who sent a brilliant pass for the equalizer at the very end of regulation time. In the penalty shootout, he made no mistake and Inter advanced to the final.

David Beckham made a major move in the summer when he brought Lionel Messi into his team. He is thoroughly enjoying his time in the USA and his presence has transformed Inter Miami from a team at the tail end of the table into a functioning footballing machine.

Thanks to his brilliant performances, the team has picked up and started achieving excellent results. After all, since his presence in the team, Inter, who have won only one of their last ten matches, have won all their matches with Messi.

He then wanted to extend his winning streak in the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup, where Inter Miami faced FC Cincinnati. However, in the match itself, it looked like the star footballer would have to say goodbye to the idea of the final played at the end of September.

Cincinnati led by a comfortable two-goal margin after an hour of play and went into the final. Messi found the head of Leonardo Campana after a free-kick to make it 1:2. At the end of regulation time, Inter were on the verge of elimination.

But in the 97th minute, the Argentine star shone again. He took the ball on the left side of the pitch and with another brilliant assist saved his team from elimination. His ball on a golden platter then found Campana in the net again to force extra time.

Each team scored one goal and the game went to penalty kicks. These were opened by Lionel Messi on the Inter Miami side, who made no mistake and motivated his teammates to a 100% success rate.

Inter thus advanced to the final, where they will face the Houston Dynamo. Will Messi lead his team to another trophy after the Leagues Cup?

His form certainly gives Inter a great chance. In seven games for Inter, he has scored 10 goals and added three assists. With the team advancing to the final of the U.S. Open, the team is on the cusp of another great achievement and Messi’s magic could be the key to victory.
