What an evening for superstar Lionel Messi!
The 2022 world champion scored a brace in his club Inter Miami’s 3-1 home win over Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer, marking a successful comeback after a two-month ankle injury.
However, the match started anything but ideally for the hosts, as Uhre put the visitors in front after just a few seconds (2′). Undeterred, Messi and co. fought back and took the lead within a few minutes thanks to two goals from the 37-year-old (26′, 30′).
As the game progressed, Miami had the chance to decide the match early. However, the apparent 3-1 goal by Suarez was disallowed by the referee with the help of VAR due to an offside position.

The score remained close until the final phase, before Messi served Suarez perfectly in injury time and was directly involved in the 3-1 (90.+8).
After the match, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner appeared exhausted. “I’m a little tired. The heat and humidity in Miami aren’t helping, but I really wanted to get back, I haven’t been on the pitch for a long time,” said the Argentine after the final whistle.
With this success, Miami extends its winning streak in the MLS and is now at the top of the Eastern Conference table. Philadelphia, on the other hand, is ranked eleventh.
In the parallel match, ÖFB legionnaire Alessandro Schöpf was in the starting eleven for the Vancouver Whitecaps’ 2-0 win against the San Jose Earthquakes and was on the field until the 84th minute. The goals for the hosts were scored by Picault (35th) and Armstrong (85th), who came on for Schöpf.
Fellow countryman Hannes Wolf also started New York City FC’s away draw against DC United and was substituted in the 85th minute. Rodriguez scored the goal for the visitors (32′), before Benteke equalized for the hosts with a penalty in the 67th minute.
In the table, the Whitecaps are in fifth place in the Western Conference, New York is sixth in the Eastern Conference.

NEW YORK – New York City FC is in the midst of presentationsThis week, the MLS franchise showed off its redesigned crest and details of its new stadium, which they hope to open in 2027.
At the club’s offices in Manhattan, NYCFC has created the “Stadium Experience,” an experience for customers, partners and, later, fans to experience what the stadium will look like, which will be located in Willets Point, Queens, next to the current Citi Field, home of the New York Mets.
It will be the first stadium dedicated exclusively to soccer in New York City. It will have a capacity of 25,000 people and will be seen in all its splendor from planes landing at LaGuardia Airport.

Among other technological advances, the stadium’s roof will be covered in solar panels and the most visible entrance, the one closest to the Mets-Willets Point station on Metro Line 7, will have a corner like “The Cube” illuminated with huge LED screens.
The opposite corner of the stadium will feature a special terrace for Third Rail fans, the club’s “bar.” This “supporters porch” will have 9,000 square feet and a capacity for 3,500 people.

When NYCFC joined MLS more than 10 years ago in 2013, the commitment was to have its own stadium in less than five years. But the project was delayed until now.
“Building in New York is difficult,” explains NYCFC CEO Brad Sims. “Not just stadiums, but any type of project. The hardest part is finding the land. We could easily have had a stadium much sooner if we had gone outside the five boroughs, but our commitment was to build a soccer-specific stadium within the five boroughs.”
Sims commented that in the six years he has been at the helm of the franchise They considered “a dozen potential locations” for the stadium, some of them in the Bronx, since the New York Yankees are investors in the club. But when the possibility of building near Yankee Stadium closed in 2021, they looked again to Queens, the “first option from the beginning.”
Following some opposition from local neighborhood groups, the Willes Point project received City Council approval in April of this year.

“It took longer than we wanted, but we are proud to be here today fulfilling that promise,” added Sims, who stressed that the $780 million project It is 100% privately financed, something very unusual in stadium construction in the United States.
The land will remain under the ownership of the City of New York, which is leasing it to NYCFC through a long-term lease.
“New York is a city made up of people from all countries of the world. NYCFC having a stadium within the five boroughs is going to be a game changer. And not just for NYCFC, but for having world-class events here. “When was the last time the men’s or women’s national team played in the five boroughs? 30, 40, 50 years ago? I don’t know, I’d have to look it up!” she said. Dan Courtemanche, Chief Communications Officer de la MLS.
Courtemanche highlighted the “huge potential” for the stadium for national team matchesnot only from the United States, but from countries like Colombia and Ecuador, with large communities in Queens and the rest of the city.

This stadium will be the 28th built or renovated specifically for MLS. The location, next to Citi Field and the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center where the US Open is played each year, is well known to sports fans. It is accessible via public transportation with the LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) and the 7 train. The parking lots will be shared with the New York Mets and the contract stipulates that Mets and NYCFC cannot play on the same day..
“It’s better to take your time and do it right than to make the wrong decision,” Courtemanche added of NYCFC’s delay in building its own stadium.
The dry hunger of New York The city is moving forward.
The Hannes Wolf club splits in the MLS at home against Chicago Fire by 2:2. The Big Apple has been waiting for complete success in the league for five games.
Martinez’s early brace (15th, 22nd) looks like a win for New York. However, Cuypers (78th) and Gutierrez stopped the plan with a penalty (90th + 4).
Wolf plays the entire game for the home team. He currently has five goals this season and eight assists. Despite a five-game winless streak, New York is tied for fifth in the Eastern Conference Playoffs-Course.

Columbus Crew qualified for the Leagues Cup Semi-Finals on Saturday after defeating New York City FC on penalties (1-1, 4-3 in the shootout).
MLS Cup champion in 2023 and led by Colombian Juan Camilo ‘Cucho’ Hernández, the Ohio team had just eliminated Inter Miami and will now face the winner of the Quarterfinal match between Mazatlán FC and Philadelphia Union.
The afternoon could not have started worse for the Columbus Crew, as they conceded a goal after just 12 seconds of play.
Sights Set on the Semifinal ⚔️
With the Crew’s PK shootout win over NYCFC, the Black & Gold progress to the Leagues Cup Semifinal on Wednesday where they await the winner of Philadelphia Union and Mazatlán.
— The Crew (@ColumbusCrew) August 18, 2024
It was the home team that took the ball out of the centre of the field and after New York pressure the ball ended up at the feet of Rudy Camacho.
The center back fell asleep at the start and the very clever Costa Rican Alonso Martinez stole the ball from him and beat Patrick Schulte without opposition to make it 0-1 for New York City after just 12 seconds of play.
Despite that early setback, it did not change the Columbus Crew’s idea of dominating the match through possession.
However, Wilfried Nancy’s men were forced to take risks and left some gaps in their back that New York City, with dynamite on the counterattack, came very close to taking advantage of to decide the match.
Aside from those isolated scares, the Columbus Crew began to accumulate clear chances through Christian Ramírez and, above all, a very active ‘Cucho’.
The Colombian’s persistence was recognised and in the 41st minute he tied the game with a fantastic header from the penalty spot that he directed perfectly at the right post of goalkeeper Matt Freese.
After the break, Columbus Crew’s offensive monologue was even clearer against a New York City that was increasingly retreating.
The chances kept coming and Max Arfsten even had a goal disallowed for offside.
Due to a lack of aim or the actions of a very secure Matt Freese under the New York goal, the match went to penalties after the Uruguayan Diego Rossi wasted the last approach in stoppage time.
Columbus Crew went into the finale feeling like they had earned the necessary merits to win in 90 minutes, while for New York City it was a reward for their defensive efforts and also familiar territory, having beaten Queretaro and New England Revolution on penalties in this Leagues Cup.
However, this time it was a tailspin for the team from the Big Apple: Argentine Maxi Moralez and Uruguayan Santiago Rodríguez missed their shots and the Columbus Crew, despite the error of Uruguayan Diego Rossi, got their ticket to the Semifinals.
The Monterrey team came close to scoring in the locker room with a header from Sebastián Córdova in the 40th second. Goalkeeper Matt Freese saved the ball with both hands and complained angrily to his centre-backs about their lack of concentration.
Despite Tigres’ slight dominance, New York City looked dangerous every time they got up front. In the 4th minute, the visitors put together a great play started by Keaton Parks, continued by Santiago Rodríguez and finished by Alonso Martínez, whose shot forced Nahuel Guzmán to dive to avoid the surprise.
After fifteen minutes, Tigres’ pressure paid off. It all started with a violent shot from Carioca that forced goalkeeper Freese to ‘spit’ the ball out. The university team regained possession and the Brazilian once again crossed for Guido Pizarro’s dry shot at the far post for 1-0.
But three minutes later, Jesús Angulo lost the ball near the penalty area when trying to play out, NYC recovered it and, without thinking much, Maxi Morález shot across the goal for the equalizer.
Tigres started the second half as they did at the start of the match. With Ozziel Herrera on the pitch, the felines came close to turning the score around with the shot from the newcomer that went very close to the far post.
In the 55th minute, Tigres wasted another great opportunity with a missed shot by Sebastián Córdova, who slipped when he tried to hit the ball when entering the area with the ball under control and the goal open.
Ozziel Herrera got his revenge shortly after with a corner kick in which he hit the post with his forehead, but a minute later, a poorly called foul in favor of Tigres caused a loss of the ball and NYC made the Monterrey team pay for their lack of decisiveness with a goal by Santiago Rodríguez and a flip.
The final 1-2 places the New Yorkers in the Quarterfinals and Tigres back home awaiting the resumption of the Liga MX Apertura 2024.
