Nashville SC faces Lionel Messi and Inter Miami for the fourth time in seven months in the CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 series on Wednesday.
Nashville and Inter Miami drew the first leg 2-2 at Geodis Park last Thursday. Jacob Shaffelburg scored a pair of wonder goals for the hosts before Messi and Luis Suarez each found the net to even the score in stoppage time.
The series shifts to Florida for the second leg, in which Nashville must win or score three or more goals in a tie to advance to the quarterfinals. Inter Miami can move on with a win or a tie of 0-0 or 1-1.

A 2-2 tie after 90 minutes means 30 minutes of extra time, followed by penalties if the score is still tied.
The winner of the Nashville-Inter Miami series will face either FC Cincinnati or CF Monterrey in the quarterfinals in April. Monterrey leads Cincinnati 1-0 on aggregate in that series.
