I had a bad time InterMiami in the final of the MLS: Vancouver Whitecapsthe rival, had a better feeling about breaking the 1-1 score. But it is known that with one appearance everything can be stopped and reversed Lionel Andres Messi. The special thing was that this time the roles were reversed Chase Stadium because the man from Rosario disguised himself as a defensive midfielder to steal the ball from him Andres Cubas And Rodrigo DePaul He put himself in the role of a goalscorer and crossed to make it 2-1 for the locals.

Messi didn’t have a good game. This became noticeable when I was down a gear and suffering from the Miami heat. Although, it is repeated, the Scaloneta captain is able to change the course of a duel in just a second. And it happened again, this time in the MLS grand final.
Cubas, the former Boca player who will play for Paraguay in the World Cup, admitted. Maybe he thought Messi wouldn’t challenge him for the ball. But Leo sensed where the central midfielder was going, stole the ball from him and threw it into space for De Paul’s trusty side run. And the Motorcito did not fail: he defined crossed and just before the departure of the Japanese Yohei Takaoka.
Friends hugged each other at the celebration. It was Rodrigo’s first goal in the MLS in the final. He had previously scored a goal for the League Cup. In total, he collected two shouts in 23 games with his new team. For La Pulga it was the 408th appearance in his monumental career.

However, Leo still had something to say. The world champion came into the game with an advantage and stole the spotlight. He put the ball under the sole in the final minutes to give the pitch some air. And he did it: the Vancouver Whitecaps had no answers. What’s more, La Pulga stopped them in the chest on the last play of the game and delivered his 409th assist with his magical left foot for Tadeo Allende’s goal, for Inter Miami’s 3-1 and for a new title for Messi.
