00:00actually in the starting 11 of the team who started that final in nashville
00:03bush gets his back and fresh on the paris olympics diego gomez comes straight in
00:07it's all about getting the front players on the ball martinez on the floor is
00:11really strong the question how do they handle the mobility and the quick passes
00:14of miami but tfc they can cause problems
00:17themselves going forward now the defending champions
00:21hosting toronto and hoping to progress on this journey which gets underway
00:27right now from chase stadium self-sufficient without their stars but
00:32big names tell me they like big games big giveaway though and an early chance
00:36and a shot is saved so i didn't really get hold of that that was one of the big
00:40names how much longer he'll be here in miami
00:43of course a big question
00:46reports firming up of a move to the premier league for him as this ball's
00:49played into the box that was redondo arriving
00:51this is gonna fall for a brilliant finish from rojas
00:55an electric start in miami
01:03with confidence but it's a different look to ronald side tonight and just
01:06look how portretta he gets tangled in on top of long and
01:10that just leaves rojas completely on mark at the back stick he
01:13still has a little bit to do look at this first touch
01:15how he settles it onto his left and off that bounce
01:18i have bells gets over top of it what a pure strike that is
01:23you felt they could get more from and they've gone over the top though miami
01:26here again and it's alba oh he sets it up and it's
01:30put wide by gomez that really should have been two nil this is a
01:34different type of intensity and you think of a fair-skinned
01:38yorkshireman like maddie longstaff you sympathize with them tony i
01:42sympathize to a degree i'm just watching there's gomez through
01:47the middle another go another goal two nil miami
01:51oh they're making this look very easy and they may already be well on their
01:57way to the round of 16 in the defense of
02:00their league's cup trophy
02:05right now just no shield in front of that toronto back four
02:10weigand oh that's a mistake and then it's a penalty
02:13and it is the way back into the game contemplative moment as well
02:18where does he go this time one big exhale one big run up
02:22insigne scores and toronto are right back in it
02:25we hit 15 minutes played at chase stadium this one
02:29very much that's the most obvious conclusion to make from
02:33a substitution like this what a shame on a night where some big
02:38stars were out still got a few on the field but one of
02:41them just saw when bernadeschi was coming
02:44coming off herdman was bellowing instructions into his team saying to
02:48keep things tight centrally
02:54played over the top for suarez by alba off suarez is through
02:57he chips it past johnson and miami restore a two goal advantage
03:02three one we haven't even played 20 minutes
03:05just his movement as soon as he sees there's a little bit of space to get
03:08into but watch this touch here long thinks he's safe
03:12maybe not even a touch a body swerve that goes around the other side it just
03:15thought initially does he get a touch to flick it around
03:17the corner but it's enough that he lets it go that it surprises long
03:21even that last second the way that suarez pulls out of it long it catches
03:24them out suarez from there it's an easy lift
03:27over johnson
03:30it's an easy three goals it's played in for suarez
03:34i had redondo in the middle i'm marked for a moment there
03:37and trying to set up for rojas and then the shot
03:40is saved as it came in from the left hand side
03:44from redondo it's all up for grabs again flores
03:47it's true for a wushu they could get another one oh is he brought down i
03:50think he might well have been yes penalty as far as he just drives
03:55right through past redondo and he threads a lovely ball
03:59i will so he's on side as he's going he's just squaring up to
04:03is there a little push there is
04:09it's going to be a red card you know he's off and miami are down to 10
04:13and now we have real drama in this round of 32 game
04:17miles and 100 meters of the paris olympics and it's just this side of the
04:21line so it's not a penalty but miami are down
04:24to 10 men toronto know they will play against 10
04:28men for over an hour and from 18 yards here he goes
04:33and it's just clawed away by calendar for a corner
04:39for jonathan azorio i haven't mentioned him too much there's such a better side
04:42when he's around awuso no into the box another challenge and it's
04:46another penalty awuso more stepping on top of alba
04:51and it's more as albert's going in he pulls out at the last second and it's
04:55a booster reaching back i don't think that's a penalty
05:00another spot kick for the italian another one
05:03against drake calendar here we go again and he slots it in it's three two
05:09it's a remarkable first half he's got rojas available
05:13sweet strike remember gave miami the lead in this game
05:16rodondo forward and then the shot is absolutely sensational
05:22wow what a finish
05:29rojas hit a sweet one in the first half and that one has exceeded it
05:34and the 10 men go four two up now it's no wonder that there's an
05:40embrace with alba because watch alba's movement
05:43he starts out wide left but then as he starts to come in he drifts into a
05:46little pocket now for toronto see wingo is too late
05:50coming off and alba he prepares that ball knowing
05:53that rojas wants to hit it first time just caress it he doesn't fizz it into
05:57him just lays it on to rojas his favorite left foot
06:00it doesn't even make that look easy queues it up
06:03it's gone to insignia and he'll call it in awuso's there with
06:08the header and it's four three and the substitute
06:12scores but it all starts with a great ball into insignia
06:15gets out to him quickly then nobody's closing down they're too slow to get to
06:19him he's got two touches to prepare it
06:24two nil three one four two they trailed and this is a brilliant strike from
06:30distance from kevin long it's not a very good touch from the
06:33substitute mobica and so here's campana and he's got
06:38runners he's got redondo is it five he takes his time
06:43oh he hits the post would you believe it it's over
06:48miami goes through they've made it without messy but my
06:55was it close here in south florida tonight
