    MLS Cup Playoffs: Lionel Messi’s rare penalty miss proved pivotal as Charlotte FC clinched a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive season, defeating Inter Miami CF 3-0 on Saturday.

    The match turned in the 31st minute when Messi, brought down inside the box, attempted a Panenka penalty. But Charlotte goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina read it perfectly, standing tall to catch the effort and deny Miami what could have been a crucial opening goal. Moments later, Charlotte seized control and never looked back.

    With the result, Charlotte continued their record-breaking campaign, amassing 53 points (17W-11L-2D) with four matches remaining. Their ninth consecutive victory ties the all-time club record for longest winning streak, while the 53 points mark a new club high. Bank of America Stadium has been central to their rise, boasting a league-best 12 home wins, as per MLS.
