Messi put in a historic 1g\/3a performance to reach 12 goal contributions (six goals, six assists) in the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs, a new league record during a single postseason.<\/p>\n
The legendary No. 10 got things started in the 19th minute, capping a give-and-go with fellow Rosario, Argentina native Mateo Silvetti<\/a> with a bouncing header past goalkeeper Roman Celentano<\/a>.<\/p>\n Things remained relatively close before the Herons broke the game open in the second half.<\/p>\n The Herons doubled their lead in the 57th minute when Messi returned the favor to Silvetti, assisting the 19-year-old’s stunning strike. The GOAT then set up both goals in Tadeo Allende’s second-half brace, helping Miami cruise to the 4-0 victory.<\/p>\n Sunday’s win sent Miami to their first-ever Eastern Conference Final, where they’ll face an upset-minded New York City FC<\/a>. The winner advances to MLS Cup presented by Audi on Dec. 6.<\/p>\n \n Goals<\/p>\n 19′ – MIA – Lionel Messi | WATCH<\/a>
