Thiago Martins left him alone in the far post of a corner kick, but his header quickly went in Ustali. Nicholas Fernandez cut down the defender in the box and jumped into Ustali the wrong way, but his shot grew out of the post. <\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP Soccer: <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/miami-nycfc-score-561ea850d7b0e1682630d3dcc665a1e3\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York (AP) &#8211; Lionel Messi had two goals and assisted to reach a 37-goal contribution.
