Supporters' Shield winners Inter Miami and superstar Lionel Messi did not expect to have their backs against the wall so early in the 2024 MLS Cup playoffs. Yet here they are, in a winner-take-all game against a wild card side in Atlanta United who has given them fits all season. The Herons won the first meeting of this best-of-three Round One series thanks to a Jordi Alba winner in the final 15 minutes, but fell in Atlanta on a dramatic stoppage-time winner by Xande Silva.

Thus, the winner tonight will advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, while the loser will see their season come to a close earlier than expected. STREAM: Stream every MLS playoff match, including Inter Miami vs. Atlanta United, on Apple TV The Sporting News is following the Inter Miami vs.
