Inter Miami Loses U.S. Open Cup Final in Messi's Absence

Inter Miami Loses U.S. Open Cup Final in Messi's Absence

Inter Miami lost 2-1 to Houston Dynamo in the U.S. Open Cup final last night, with Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba sidelined due to injury. Messi missed his fourth match for Inter due to a muscle injury sustained after returning from international duty with the Argentina national team earlier this month. Jeffren Dorsey and Moroccan player Amin Bassi scored for Houston in the first half, while Miami's Joseph Martinez scored a late goal. This loss meant Inter Miami missed the chance to win their second title after Messi led the team to victory in the Leagues Cup last month, scoring ten goals in the tournament. Both Miami and Houston qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
