Inter Miami suffered a shocking 4-3 home defeat to Orlando City on May 2, 2026, blowing a commanding 3-0 halftime lead at the new Nu Stadium.
Lionel Messi dazzled early with a goal and two assists, fueling strikes by Ian Fray in the 4th minute and Telasco Segovia, capping a 33rd-minute rout at 3-0. Orlando’s Martín Ojeda ignited the turnaround with a 39th-minute reply, then completed his hat-trick via a 78th-minute penalty to level at 3-3 before Tyrese Spicer’s stoppage-time winner sealed Miami’s misery.
The loss—only the third 3-0 comeback victory in MLS history—ended Inter Miami’s 11-game unbeaten run amid glaring defensive frailties, just after manager Javier Mascherano’s resignation.
Miami stayed winless in four home matches at Nu Stadium, with defender Ian Fray lamenting referee decisions while owning the collapse in Messi’s 100th club outing. Orlando notched their third win, defying a prior 0-4-1 road slump.
