Lionel Messi's Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati: Where and how to watch?

Lionel Messi’s side have the chance to reach another cup final

Excitement brews as Cincinnati and Inter Miami clash this Wednesday at TQL Stadium. It’s the 2023 MLS Open Cup semi-final, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. The victors of this duel have a golden ticket: facing either Houston Dynamo or Real Salt Lake in the grand final.

Inter Miami arrives with their tails up, boasting impeccable form. Their recent track record is impressive, with a seven-match winning spree, all in the Leagues Cup. They’re not just riding on momentum; they’re galloping with confidence, especially after clinching their maiden trophy. Last weekend, Miami tasted a sweet victory by besting Nashville in the Leagues Cup final. The question now lingers: Can they replicate this success in the US Open Cup?

But let’s not forget FC Cincinnati. Despite recent wobbles, including two consecutive losses – one being a devastating 3-0 to Columbus – they’ve shown their mettle. They’ve clinched 15 victories out of 24 in the MLS league matches. Their league position? An enviable top spot in the Eastern Conference table. And the journey there wasn’t quiet. Their attacking prowess resonated with 39 goals, ensuring opponents never rest easy.

Cincinnati’s route to the semi-final tells a tale of tenacity. They kick-started their US Open Cup journey by defeating Louisville City. What followed were triumphs over formidable teams: New York City, New York Red Bulls, and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.

Contrasting Cincinnati’s journey, Inter Miami’s recent surge is a plot twist. The arrival of Lionel Messi, the Argentinian maestro, transformed the team’s narrative. Under Gerardo Martino’s leadership, Inter Miami evolved from underdogs to titans. Their previous US Open Cup conquests include victories over Miami FC, Charleston Battery, Nashville, and Birmingham Legion. This track record presents them as a formidable challenge for Cincinnati.

Both teams’ journeys to this pivotal match are a blend of struggle and triumph. Cincinnati, though experiencing a dip in form lately, shouldn’t be underestimated. Their position at the top of the table and their journey to the semi-final underlines their quality. On the other hand, Inter Miami, boosted by their recent successes and the Messi factor, will enter the game with a bullish confidence.
