""Speaking about Leo is truly striking, first because of the person he is, and second because of the player you see on the pitch," Hoyos said afterwards. "Him [Messi] Rodrigo [De Paul] and [Luis] Suárez are players who truly elevate the MLS. What they accomplished today was brilliant, simply brilliant. "To perform that way on a difficult pitch, against a very tough opponent, speaks volumes.""
Inter Miami came from behind to defeat Cincinnati 5-3, with Lionel Messi scoring twice. Messi opened the scoring in the 24th minute after Matt Miazga’s clearance rebounded off him and went into the net. Kevin Denkey equalised from a penalty spot, and Pavel Bucha put Cincinnati ahead. Rodrigo De Paul’s right-wing cross enabled Messi to level at 2-2 with a first-time finish in the 55th minute. Evander restored Cincinnati’s lead, but Messi set up Mateo Silvetti to make it 3-3, and German Berterame scored to put Miami ahead six minutes from normal time. A later Messi strike was ruled an own goal after hitting the post and deflecting in. Hoyos praised Messi, De Paul, and Luis Suárez for elevating MLS and performing on a difficult pitch against a tough opponent.
