CINCINNATI (AP) \u2014 Lionel Messi had a goal and three assists and Tadeo Allende had two points as Inter Miami defeated FC Cincinnati 4-0 on Sunday to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.<\/p>\n

Miami will play the winner of Sunday’s other conference semifinal, the Philadelphia Union vs. New York City FC.<\/p>\n

Messi set an MLS playoff record with 12 points (6 goals, 6 assists). <\/p>\n

Cincinnati won the Supporters’ Shield last season and had the second-best overall record in MLS behind Philadelphia. Cincinnati lost to the Columbus Crew in last year’s conference finals. <\/p>\n

Messi didn’t score in three games against Cincinnati, but that streak ended Sunday in the 19th minute when he headed in Matteo Silvetti’s short cross to give Miami a 1-0 lead. Messi, a World Cup winner and eight-time Ballon d’Or winner with Argentina, scored his 11th goal in his last seven games.<\/p>\n

Nine minutes after scoring, Messi was left alone with the keeper, but his shot at the far post went wide. <\/p>\n

Cincinnati’s best scoring chance came in the first half, when Ender Echenik sent a header across the box to Evander, whose shot went over the bar. <\/p>\n

Miami had seven shots on goal, while Cincinnati had four. <\/p>\n

Ten minutes into the second half, Silvetti beat Cincinnati keeper Roman Celentano with a shot from the left side of the box, giving Miami a two-goal lead.<\/p>\n

In the 62nd minute, Messi slipped through the defense and passed a pass to Allende, who made it 3-0. Allende scored again in the 74th minute. <\/p>\n

Cincinnati defeated Miami 3-0 at home on July 16 and played to a scoreless draw with Fort Lauderdale on July 26. Messi was in the squad for the first match, but not for the second.<\/p>\n
