Lionel Messi continues to excel for Inter Miami and his second assist against Cincinnati yields a classic commentary from Ray Hudson.
Inter Miami trailed 2-0 in the semi-finals of the US Open Cup, but Messi provided two late assists for Leonardo Campana to send the game into extra time.
After the game finished 3–3 after extra time, Inter Miami prevailed on penalties, with Messi successfully converting his penalty.
Messi’s second assist was especially impressive as he played an excellent pass into Campana’s path.
Hudson, who works as a co-commentator for CBS, made the moment even more memorable with his commentary.

‘Amazing in its accuracy. Check out this pass, folks! He bends slightly to find him. He takes everything into account, including the planets around the sun. Messi, where the impossible becomes the easy. Where the magical becomes the predictable! Pull it out of the fire.’
Inter Miami is now through to the final of the US Open Cup, where it will face Houston Dynamo next month.
Messi has already helped Inter Miami win their first trophy when they won the Leagues Cup.
