As a substitute at the halftime, Messi scored a few touches and second halftime, and other players backed up with Messi, and this gave the game an immediate boost of brilliance that was one of the trademarks of Messi.
The mind blowing pass
The first strand of magic that he applied was the 84th minute as he dribbled past the defenders before dashing off a clear shot to put Miami back in the lead. In another few minutes the Messi would score a jaw dropping no look back heel assist to Luis Suarez that threaded a pass so brilliantly that the Galaxy defense could not respond to it. Such a bold playing stunned fans and made them thirsty of more.
