For the first time in history, a surprising appearance of five goalkeepers on the same team to prevent Messi from scoring a goal in a rare and exceptional manner in the American league.
Minute 85: Inter Miami is leading 2-1, and the Atlanta United players left their goalkeeper alone to score the equalizer in the few remaining seconds. However, the ball transitioned quickly from Suárez and Messi, leading to a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and that’s when the madness happened.
Suárez set up Messi for a clear chance to score a third goal and finish the match, but the goalkeeper suddenly left his goal, causing chaos on the field.
Four players from Atlanta sprinted and turned into additional goalkeepers alongside the main goalkeeper, blocking Messi and shutting down the goal tto deprive him of the decisive goal in the last breaths.
