"Messi opened the scoring in the seventh minute with his 900th career goal for club and country, but reigning MLS Cup champion Miami couldn't find the net again. Nashville advance to meet either the Philadelphia Union or Mexico's Club America in the quarterfinals."
"Messi stands second in football history in career goals, behind only Portugal and Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 965. Messi, right, is just the second men's player in history to score 900 goals."
"The hosts got the necessary goal after a wild sequence in front of the Miami goal. Alex Muyl's shot was blocked but bounced into the air and headed towards the goal line, where Herons goalkeeper Dayne St Clair punched it away amid traffic. The rebound fell to an unmarked Espinoza, who fired a right-footed shot inside the far post."
Nashville SC eliminated Inter Miami from the CONCACAF Champions Cup after a 1-1 draw in the second leg, advancing on the away-goals tiebreaker.

Despite Messi's early goal, Miami failed to score again.

Nashville will face either Philadelphia Union or Club America in the quarterfinals. Club America advanced by defeating Philadelphia after Rodrigo Dourado's goal secured their progression.
