It is absolute chaos in Miami this evening. Messi<\/a> and his mates are level 4-4 at the break against Philadelphia, having trailed 3-1 in the first-half at one point.<\/p>\n

We are being treated to a classic in the making.<\/p>\n

It looked to be an upset brewing when Philadelphia took a shock two-goal lead before Miami fought back to cut the lead to one.<\/p>\n

After the Union extended their lead to two goals once again thanks to\u00a0Bruno Damiani<\/a>, all hell broke loose at the Nu Stadium.<\/p>\n

The stars of Inter Miami<\/a> took over as the front three of Leo Messi, Luis Suarez<\/a>, and German Berterame combined to see Miami score three unanswered goals to take a truly stunning lead on the brink of half-time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

While it looked like Miami would take the lead into the break after a truly bonkers opening 45 minutes, a hand-ball in stoppage time saw Philadelphia earn a penalty to equalize.<\/p>\n

Up stepped\u00a0Milan Iloski<\/a> to dispatch the spot-kick, securing his first-half hat-trick and swing the momentum back in the Union’s favor.<\/p>\n

It is the highest-scoring first-half in the entire history of MLS. Could they go on to break the all-time single game scoring record in the second-half?<\/p>\n

Folks, we still have 45 more minutes of this absolute chaos. How will they be able to sustain this carnage for another half!?<\/p>\n

MLS at it’s riveting best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is absolute chaos in Miami this evening.
