Messi, Inter Miami give up 3-goal lead in loss to Orlando - ESPN

Orlando City rallied from a three-goal deficit to beat host Inter Miami 4-3 on Saturday as Lionel Messi's side remained winless at its new stadium.

Messi had a goal and an assist as Miami raced out to a 3-0 lead 33 minutes into the match. Miami appeared well on its way to its first victory at Nu Stadium after going winless in its first three matches there.

But Orlando dramatically flipped the script, as Martín Ojeda collected a hat trick before Tyrese Spicer struck the winner in stoppage time to stun the home crowd.

It was just the third time in MLS history that a team erased a 3-0 deficit to win. The Seattle Sounders rallied against D.C. United in 2017, and the LA Galaxy did the same against LAFC the following year.

«We just fell apart and that can't happen again,» Miami defender Ian Fray, who scored Miami's opening goal, told reporters.

Miami had been held to a draw in its previous three home games since the opening of its long-awaited new home April 4. Only twice in MLS history has a team endured a longer winless run at a new stadium.

Saturday's loss also snapped the reigning MLS Cup winners' 11-game unbeaten run in all competitions. It's Miami's first defeat since its season-opening loss in February.

Messi scored his 86th goal in a Miami jersey in his 100th appearance. It also snapped a rare two-game scoreless streak for the Argentina forward.

Messi also assisted on Telasco Segovia's goal after Fray gave Miami a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute.

Orlando City had won only two of their past 15 MLS matches, including the playoffs, dating to last season. Orlando was also 0-4-1 on the road in MLS play this season.

None of that mattered. Ojeda scored in the 39th minute to send Orlando
