Inter Miami Collapse Leads Chaotic MLS Weekend
Miami blew a 3-0 lead to Orlando as Messi dazzled, Ojeda took over, and MLS veered hard into disorder.
Inter Miami turned a 3-0 lead into a 4-3 loss to Orlando City, making the weekend’s loudest MLS story a full Miami collapse. Lionel Messi delivered a goal and two assists, but even that was not enough once Martin Ojeda grabbed control of the match and dragged Orlando into the spotlight. The result sharpened every familiar question around Miami.
This team remains MLS’s biggest draw, and Messi still bends games toward him, but dropped points now carry extra weight. When the glamour project wobbles, the league watches it like a stress test, not a normal bad night. Ojeda’s surge mattered because it flipped the usual frame.
