Lionel Messi is making his manager look good, Austin are stunning the Western Conference and Phil Neville’s Portland Timbers are tumbling.
In an effort to write about someone other than Lionel Messi this week, let’s take a slightly bigger-picture approach and go with Inter Miami manager Tata Martino as our first winner.
So on to Martino. The Argentinian coach came under pressure just a few weeks ago when Inter went on a run of just one win in five MLS games, while also being dumped out of the CONCACAF Champions League by Mexican side Monterrey. “Now we have won three games in a row, two on the road, and we are more solid each day. Meanwhile, we find ourselves where we are in the standings. Injured players are returning, and we hope to have a complete team by the later stages of the season.”
It all began with a crunching yet squeaky-clean slide tackle in midfield by Alexander Ring. In one swift motion, the Finn came away with the ball and unleashed Jader Obrien with a long pass in behind the Galaxy backline. The Colombian raced clear before rattling a precise finish in off the post from a tight angle.
The flashpoint occurred in the 22nd minute, just three minutes after Austin had gone up 2-0. When the ball innocuously rolled out for a throw-in for the home side, Puig picked it up and threw in into Jon Gallagher’s face. The Irish full-back certainly exaggerated the impact, but Puig was deservedly shown a yellow card.They score two goals a game on average. They play hard and are a tough opponent for any side in the league, beaten only once this season by a margin greater than a single goal.
But then Diego Chara – is his 337th appearance for the club, an MLS record for games played with a single team – was sent off in the 76th minute and the Timbers tumbled to a heart-wrenching stoppage-time winner scored by LA’s reigning Golden Boot winner Denis Bouanga.
