Lionel Messi scored twice as Inter Miami fought back from 2-0 down on aggregate against Los Angeles FC with a 3-1 win (3-2 on aggregate) on Wednesday to move into the last four of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Trailing 1-0 from the first-leg, Miami found themselves in big trouble when Aaron Long put LAFC ahead in the ninth minute.
Messi got Miami back into the game with a sweet strike from outside the box in the 35th minute but Javier Mascherano's side still needed two more goals.
They took a 2-1 lead on the night when Noah Allen chipped a ball into the box and neither Miami midfielder Federico Redondo or Los Angeles keeper Hugo Lloris made contact with the ball as it travelled beyond them into the goal.
