Cincinnati dealt with his threat in open play reasonably comfortably, but Messi’s decisive inevitability showed in the second half as he delivered a cross from a wide free-kick for Campana to halve the deficit before Messi’s left foot combined again with Campana’s head deep into injury time.

Cincinnati’s energy did not make it easy for Miami, and they found an equalizer through Kubo, but Miami’s composure from the penalty spot showed again, tucking away five from five.
