Lionel Messi scored twice in a dominant second half as Inter Miami CF rallied for a 4-2 victory over Orlando City SC in Orlando. The defending MLS champions overcame a 2-0 halftime deficit, with Messi's 57th-minute equalizer off a Telasco Segovia pass sparking the comeback.

Segovia, who added a goal and two assists, scored the go-ahead goal in the 85th minute before Messi sealed the win with a 90th-minute free kick. The victory marked Inter Miami's first-ever win at Inter&Co Stadium, ending a nine-game drought in Orlando. Messi's two goals were his first of the 2025 season, bringing his MLS tally to 52 goals in 55 regular-season matches.

Marco Pašalić and Martín Ojeda had given Orlando City a 2-0 lead in the first half, but Mateo Silvetti's goal four minutes into the second half ignited Miami's comeback. The result improves Inter Miami to 1-1-0 while Orlando falls to 1-1-0. Inter Miami will face D.C. United next Saturday, while Orlando City travels to New York City FC.
