Fast forward 80 minutes and FC Dallas were 4-3 up and looking destined to advance to secure a victory.
Inter Miami were awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box and only one man was going to step up and take it.
From the tightest of angles, Messi managed to get the ball over the wall before nestling it into the top right-hand corner of the net.
Maarten Paes in the Dallas goal dived but the strike was simply too good.
The goal that saved Inter Miami.

He honestly couldn't have placed it any more perfect if he'd tried.
Both sides were unable to break the stalemate during extra time, although Miami eventually came out on top in the penalty shootout – Messi scoring again, of course.

When the MLS' official account posted a clip of the goal to Twitter, fans were absolutely losing it.
Replying to the post, one person said: "Single-footedly carrying the worst team in MLS. A real Challenge."
While one added: "Absolute perfection from the GOAT."
As a third commented: "Free kick = Penalty... in Messi's book."
