Cincinnati vs Inter Miami the both sides fought back to settle it in a penalties shoot out.
Inter Miami have possessed through most of the early minutes through the opening three minutes of this match,
but Cincinnati are not yet troubled, and finally do get a spell on the ball.
An attacking build results in a collision in the penalty area, and players for each team are down on the turf in pain.
It’s DeAndre Yedlin and Aaron Boupendza.
Cincinnati are looking to muck this game up early.
Aaron Boupendza‘s antics on the turf in the earlier collision with DeAndre Yedlin were…a lot, and now Luciano Acosta scythes Sergio Busquets in midfield.
Now Tomas Aviles is down and has words for the referee as he complains about the back of his foot being stamped on off the ball.
Keeping with the theme, Lionel Messi tries to play a vertical ball for Jean Mota but the Brazilian goes down under heavy defensive pressure.
No whistle comes, and Mota flails around on the ground with the ball stuck under him until he’s called for the foul.
Yedlin breaks free down the right wing and lofts a dangerous cross into the Cincinnati box.
Campana is there waiting to head the ball home, but Hagglund crucially intercepts the pass and clears the danger.
Goal.. Cincinnati take the lead! Boupendza heads a bouncing ball to play Acosta into the box,
and his shot from point-blank range beats Callender, hits the near post and bounces into the back of the net!
Chance, Inter Miami! Just after the match restarted following Boupendza’s nullified goal, Inter Miami have their first true opportunity!
Diego Gomez‘s tight-angle blast is saved well by Alec Kann at the near post. Good stop!
Now a booking for Cincinnati midfielder Obinna Nwobodo who catches Diego Gomez very late and steps on his foot. That is a proper booking.
Sergio Busquets looks as if he wants a red, but the referee isn’t having any of his protests.
The teams pause for hydration, it’s 95 degrees (!!!) in Cincinnati.
A third booking of the first half, and second to Inter Miami, as Jean Mota gets a yellow for catching Obinna Nwobodo late.

It’s not dangerous, but a caution is well-earned as Mota stuck his leg very far out, and was really in no position to make a tackle there.
Mota unleashes a powerful shot from the edge of the Cincinnati box that flies wide of the post.
That did not appear to be the option Messi wanted him to choose, with him and Alba both nearby.
GOAL! Cincinnati! Off a pinball counter, it’s Brandon Vazquez with a low, driven finish from outside the box!
The USMNT striker didn’t appear to be in a terribly dangerous position, but no Inter Miami defender steps to him trailing the play, and he rifles a shot perfectly inside the far post.
Vazquez has a golden chance to potentially put this game out of reach as he breaks free on goal in acres of space.
Callender comes out to meet him but doesn’t get there in time, allowing Vazquez to take the ball around him.
He has an open net to aim at, but completely misses the target!
Farias wins a free kick in a dangerous position on the left wing by the penalty area, drawing a foul from Arias.
Messi whips the ball into the centre of the box, where Campana leaps highest and slams his header home past Kann!
Out of the second half cooling break, Inter Miami makes another two changes.
Josef Martinez replaces Diego Gomez, while Noah Allen also enters for Tomas Aviles in defense.
Cincinnati counters by taking off Brandon Vazquez for Sergio Santos.
Inter Miami are out of ideas. Lionel Messi tries to do it all himself from midfield, but he’s sandwiched and dispossessed.
Cincinnati nearly put it away on the break but a heavy touch by Marco Angulo sees it evaporate.
Goal.. Messi finds Campana with a great pass and the forward heads home from point-blank range!
Miami have done the incredible! If this score holds, we’re headed to an extra 30 minutes of action!
Miami have come all the way back to take the lead!
Cremaschi slips Martinez into the box with a perfect pass, and the striker beats Kann through his legs to turn this game on its head!
