Inter Miami delivered a commanding performance in the Eastern Conference final, defeating New York City FC 5–1 to book their place in the club’s first-ever MLS Cup final. The early-morning clash, which kicked off at 4:30 AM IST Sunday, saw Miami dominate from start to finish, with Tadeo Allende stealing the spotlight through a brilliant hat-trick.
However, the night also belonged to Lionel Messi, who once again inscribed his name into football history. The Argentine legend registered his 405th career assist after setting up Silvestre Silvetti, officially becoming the highest assist-provider in the history of world football. It was another milestone for Inter Miami’s No. 10, whose influence continues to reshape MLS narrative.
With the victory, Inter Miami clinched the Eastern Conference championship for the first time since the club’s formation, marking a monumental milestone in the franchise’s journey. The team now advances to the 2025 MLS Cup final, where they will face Western Conference champions Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday, December 7 at 1:00 AM IST.
The grand final will be a defining moment for Inter Miami’s star-studded squad featuring Messi, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets — a chance to lift their first league championship title together.
Inter Miami fans are now dreaming bigger than ever: one win away from destiny.
