That time, too, Miami and New York City played to a 1-1 draw. James Sands scored a goal for the home team in the 95th minute.  

Nick Cushing, the head coach of the NYCFC, talked to the 44,738 people who came to see Messi play after the game.

Cushing said, “I hope they had fun at the game.” “I hope they understand how exciting the league is at this level.” Two sides are going after each other. I was proud that we gave ourselves chances to win.

Anger and insults, Messi slips with a referee!

“One thing I will say is that our fans and all the New York City fans who came tonight pushed us all the way to the end.” The fans cheered us on and gave us energy during the game.  

Miami is almost the winner of the Supporters’ Shield, which goes to the team with the best regular-season record, even though they have tied three times in a row. 

With three games left, they are still eight points ahead of second-placed Columbus Crew and still lead the Eastern Conference. 

When Miami comes to the Lowe.com Field on Wednesday evening (local time), the top two teams will play each other.
