Tata, Busquets unhappy with referee
At full time, Sergio Busquets attempts to argue something with the referee.
Tata Martino takes his place and starts complaining about the six minutes of stoppage time. Did he want more time? Less? Who can say?
That’s really not the six he needs to be worried about…
FT: Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
The referee whistles for full time a good dozen seconds before the broadcast’s feed shows that the six minutes are up.
Running out the clock
90+5′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
Al Nassr are simply playing keep away at this point as stoppage time dwindles down. That suits Messi just fine, given he has a slight muscular issue to protect against.
Second-half stoppage time
90+1′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
Six minutes are added on to the end of the match. Six minutes left in Miami’s embarrassment.
Crowd enjoying brief Messi appearance
90′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
The crowd is cheering every time Messi gets on the ball, though he hasn’t been able to string together too many touches in the few minutes he’s been on here.
This is what everyone was waiting for
86′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
The crowd literally has not sat down yet.
Reminder: it is 6-0 in the 86th minute.
I should now specify that it’s the fans in my section behind the goal. Other, more sane fans have taken their seats.
Lionel Messi comes on as sub
83′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
Finally, at 82:47, the ball went out of play and Messi was announced. He walked on just before the clock struck 83:00. On a night when his team was being beat 6-0, the home Al Nassr crowd stood and chanted his name, though it sounded like some also booed.
At 83:46 with his first touches of the game he gets another ovation and nearly sets up a chance.
Messi coming on
81′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
With the clock showing 80:59, Messi took the pinnie off and threw it to the bench. The crowd stood. He approached midfield and the cameras came up. Whistles sounded as play continued on the field not allowing him to come into the game.
Five subs by Al Nassr
80′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
Al Nassr make a whole bundle of changes, bringing off hat-trick scorer Talisca in addition to several others, and replacing them with some of their younger squad members:
- Khaled Kamal replaces Otávio
- Muhammad Sahlouli replaces Talisca
- Marzouq Tambakti replaces Aymeric Laporte
- Mohammed Qasem replaces Alex Telles
- Meshari Al Nemer replaces Mohammed Maran
Miami embarrassed
78′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami
After a long review, that would be a sixth goal for Al Nassr and a Ronaldo signature celebration for the whole crowd to enjoy after.
This has been a ROUGH night for Inter Miami.
Talisca goal ruled offside
73′ Al Nassr 5-0 Inter Miami
Talisca fires the ball into the back of the net on a breakaway, momentarily giving him a hat-trick, but the flag goes up for offside.
VAR is checking the call though…
The people want Messi
72′ Al Nassr 5-0 Inter Miami
“Gotta give the people what they want,” Twellman says as Messi warms up. I don’t think the people want Messi to aggravate an injury, but hey.
Messi warming up…
69′ Al Nassr 5-0 Inter Miami
The crowd has just stood and cheered. No, not for DeAndre Yedlin and Robert Taylor entering the game, but for Lionel Messi getting up to warm up. The fans stayed on their feet as he jogged up and down the sideline and the game resumed. All eyes were in that corner of the field.
Luiz Suarez and Jordi Alba made way for the two Miami subs.
GOAL! Al Nassr add a fifth!
68′ Al Nassr 5-0 Inter Miami
Gressel fails to win a header at the back post, allowing the ball to drift over to Mohammed Maran, whose has a simple header to find the back of the net and get Al Nassr’s fifth.
Callender saves chip shot
67′ Al Nassr 4-0 Inter Miami
Mohammed Maran is played through on goal and attempts to chip Callender, forcing a reaction save from the Miami goalkeeper.
Not for the first time tonight, the world feed broadcast nearly missed the play coming back from a replay.

We have to play with a recklessness and activity level that exceeds our opponent, and thats not to put down our talent level or anything like that, it’s more about we look different when we’re flying around and making plays and making it tough for the opponent.”

Man shot during $22,000 gold chain robbery at Supreme store in Miami’s Design District; Atlanta suspects arrested
Three men were arrested Saturday after a robbery inside a Miami clothing store left a man shot and hospitalized, according to Miami police and arrest affidavits.
The incident happened Friday afternoon in Miami’s popular Design District neighborhood.
Police said officers were dispatched around 4:20 p.m. Friday to the area of Miami Avenue and Northeast 41st Street after receiving reports of a man who had been shot. Officers found the victim, who told them he had been robbed and shot while shopping inside a Supreme store located at 45 NE 41st Street.
According to investigators, the victim said he was approached by three suspects inside the store, including one person with whom he had a prior conflict originating from the Atlanta area. Police said an argument broke out, and one suspect forcibly removed a gold chain from the victim’s neck. The chain was valued at approximately $22,000, according to police.
As the suspect ran out of the store, the victim attempted to chase him, police said. During the pursuit, an unidentified male shot the victim once in the stomach. The suspects then fled the area in a white Mercedes-Benz, according to the arrest affidavits.
Miami Police detectives later located the suspect vehicle parked near Northeast 10th Avenue and Northeast 91st Terrace. Police said they conducted surveillance and observed the suspects abandon the vehicle and walk through a nearby residential area before entering a home in the 800 block of Northeast 90th Street.
A residential search warrant was executed, resulting in the arrest of three suspects. During the search, detectives recovered the victim’s gold chain, keys to the suspect vehicle, and clothing believed to have been worn during the robbery, police said.
The suspects were identified as Jamar McKay, 25, Omarion Phillips, 20, and Kevieon Smith, 21. McKay was charged with armed robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon. Phillips and Smith were charged as accessories after the fact, with Smith also facing an additional firearms-related charge, according to court records.
“This arrest sends a clear message: violent crime will not be tolerated in the City of Miami,” Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said in a statement. “Individuals who commit acts of violence in our city will be identified, located, and held fully accountable.”

Miami Hurricanes arrive in Phoenix to continue Fiesta Bowl preparations
Miami Hurricanes arrive in Phoenix
Miami Hurricanes arrive in Phoenix on Jan. 5, 2026, ahead of their matchup with the Ole Miss Rebels at the 2026 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
The Miami Hurricanes are looking to buck a bad trend. They’re 0-4 in the Fiesta Bowl.
Coach Mario Cristobal’s team gets its fifth shot this week as Miami (12-2) squares off against Mississippi (13-1) in the Fiesta Bowl at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 8 at State Farm Stadium. The school may be 0-4 historically, but there is plenty at stake. This Fiesta Bowl is serving as a College Football Playoff semifinal.
The Hurricanes, the No. 10 seed in the 12-team playoff field, arrived at 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 5, at the Ragsdale Executive Terminal of Sky Harbor Airport. The opposing team is expected 24 hours later.
The gathered crowd of 100 or so was made of members of the Fiesta Bowl Committee, easily identifiable in their yellow jackets, and their families.
In the past, there had been a welcome event in a tent adjacent to the runway. The coach typically made an opening statement, but players and coaches walked off the plane and straight to their buses parked nearby.
Players, dressed in white sweatsuits, filed off their American Airlines flight in single file on a blue carpet.
The players will take part in a media day on Jan. 6 at a Scottsdale hotel, with the coaches talking to the media the following day, the eve of the contest.
The Hurricanes enter on the heels of a six-game winning streak. Their last loss came on Nov. 1 against SMU, a game decided in double overtime 26-20. They have surrendered just 17 points in their two postseason games.
The winner advances to the national championship game on Jan. 19 against the winner of the other semifinal, the Peach Bowl between Oregon and Indiana.
