The new stronghold of Inter Miami witnessed a dramatic collapse, after the team lost a 3-0 lead against its rival, suffering a painful defeat in the “Florida Derby.”
Despite the brilliance of Messi, who scored one goal and assisted two goals, defensive errors cost the team a loss of points, continuing the series of negative results at home.
The match started strongly from Inter Miami, with Messi making the second goal, and also scoring a special goal with a perfect left shot that went into the corner.
But Orlando City came back strongly in the second half, taking advantage of the hosts’ defensive decline, to score four goals, including a hat-trick by Martin Ojeda, in addition to a fatal goal in stoppage time by Tyrese Spicer.
The numbers confirm Inter Miami’s continued suffering at home, as they failed to achieve any victory in four matches, and suffered their first defeat despite their great progress.
Despite the loss, the “Sofa Score” platform gave Messi a full rating (10/10), after his exceptional performance, as he was the most successful in dribbles (6) and creating opportunities (2), with a passing accuracy of 91%.
Messi is the player with the highest rating in the platform’s history (10/10), having achieved this number in 54 different matches.
