Overview
- Miami secures an MLS Cup playoff berth with a win or a draw, while a loss pushes the decision to a later date.
- The match kicks off at 20:30 Argentina time at Citi Field and streams exclusively on Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass.
- Lionel Messi leads the Golden Boot race with 22 goals in 22 matches after decisive contributions in back-to-back wins.
- Luis Suárez returns from a three-match suspension imposed after the Leagues Cup final incident.
- Miami sits fifth with games in hand, and a victory would leapfrog NYCFC to boost its bid for early-round home-field advantage.
