Messi failed “impossible goal” and Inter Miami at risk of losing the Supporters Shield’ Shield
Lionel Messi was not having his night when he missed a sure goal and in the end Inter Miami paid the price when they were thrashed by Chicago Fire 3-5
When the clock hands get stuck or strange things happen like the goal that Argentine star Lionel Messi let slip by crashing the ball into a post and then on the counterattack his compatriot Tadeo Allende grabbed it and hit it into the crossbar in Inter Miami's painful 3-5 defeat to the Chicago Fire.
The reality is that Inter Miami had everything to add three points and thus stay in the fight for the Supporters' Shield, the overall lead in the MLS, but with this concert of errors it ruined Lionel Messi's plans to get closer to this important conquest, but in the end he had to swallow glass against a very dangerous rival that ruined his plans.
It was Chicago who took the lead with two goals in the 11th and 31st minutes through the Ivorian Dje D'Avilla and Jonathan Dean that put the Herons' reaction capacity to the test with a heavy 0-2 and where Tomas Aviles brought his team closer to thinking about a deserved reaction in the 39th minute.
But it was Chicago who managed to regain control of the result four minutes later when in the 43rd minute Rominigue Kouame increased the score to 3-1, which began to worry the Garzas, especially when the people were barely settling in after the halftime break, because when Messi fails like that, there is no way he can show his progress.
In that play, Messi got all the way to the kitchen and was alone on the penalty spot carrying the ball. It is almost always a goal when this happens, but the Argentine number 10 crashed the ball into the post, and that was not the most impossible to believe. Just four seconds passed and Tadeo Allende hit the crossbar again in the unfortunate play by Inter Miami that went around the world.
Then came the way Inter Miami responded to recover the lost ground and with two goals by Luis Suarez in the 57th and 61st minutes, they had hopes of being able to turn the score around, but suddenly the attackers of the pink team came forward.
This is how Chicago Fires resolved it with two more goals to leave the score at 3-2 in a hard blow to their hopes of getting closer to the Supporters' Shield, with a total score of 3-5
