Catch Messi's Playoff Magic in the MLS Cup Playoffs
Inter Miami CF continues its Round 1 clash with Atlanta United.
Inter Miami CF continues its Round 1 clash with Atlanta United, vying for a spot in the MLS Cup semifinals.
Inter Miami CF, led by the legendary Lionel Messi, is just one win away from advancing to the coveted MLS Cup semifinals. Can the Argentine superstar guide his team to the next round, or will Atlanta United stave off elimination in a must-win playoff battle?
Quick take: A massive crowd of 70,000 is expected to pack Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the crucial second game of this best-of-three playoff series. The first postseason matchup between the two teams saw the top-seeded Herons edge past Atlanta, 2–1. Messi, making his MLS playoff debut, didn't find the back of the net but made a significant impact on the pitch, including an assist for the game-winning goal by teammate Jordi Alba.
Don't miss: Atlanta United goalkeeper Brad Guzan. The captain put on a spectacular performance in Match 1, recording eight breathtaking saves and denying several Messi-led attacks. Guzan will need to summon that same level of brilliance to give the Five Stripes the best chance of evening the series.
When it happens: Stream the second game between Atlanta United and Inter Miami CF at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT with MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
