Messi scored one goal and provided a hat-trick of assists to reach an "unbelievable" record.

(NLĐO) - On the morning of November 24th, Inter Miami advanced to the MLS Eastern Conference Finals thanks to Messi's brilliant performance with one goal and three assists.

Inter Miami secured a dominant victory over Cincinnati in the MLS Eastern Conference semifinals, with Lionel Messi involved in all four goals, scoring one and providing three superb assists. This contribution also helped Messi reach 1,300 goal-related contributions (896 goals, 404 assists).

Immediately after the opening whistle, Inter Miami quickly created dangerous situations. In the 19th minute, Messi opened the scoring with a header after a quick combination with Jordi Alba and Silvetti. Earlier, Miami also had a chance, but Silvetti's header went wide of the post.

After conceding a goal, Cincinnati tried to respond with good ball control, but their final attempts lacked accuracy.

In the second half, Inter Miami's attack truly exploded, with Messi at the heart of every move. In the 57th minute, from a throw-in, Messi skillfully assisted Silvetti to score the second goal. Just a few minutes later, the Argentinian number 10 continued to showcase his class by leading a counter-attack and then making a precise through pass for Allende to score the third goal.

Before the match ended, Messi completed his hat-trick of assists with a spectacular pass from midfield, tearing apart the Cincinnati defense. Allende raced down and finished decisively, sealing a 4-0 victory for Inter Miami in the 74th minute.

In the period that followed, Cincinnati had a chance to narrow the gap, but Noah Allen made timely saves. Despite their efforts to press and control the ball more at times, the home team remained powerless against the midfield control of Messi and his teammates.

This convincing victory opens the door for Miami to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, where Messi continues to demonstrate his role as the team's heart and soul.

Inter Miami will be the winner of today's match between Philadelphia Union and New York City FC.
