Lionel Messi's two goals lead Inter Miami to a thrilling 4-2 comeback victory over Orlando City at Inter&Co Stadium.

Lionel Messi scored twice in a four-goal second half, defender Telasco Segovia added a goal and two assists and defending champion Inter Miami rallied to beat Orlando City 4-2 on Sunday (March 1, 2026) night, winning for the first time at Inter&Co Stadium.

Messi put the finishing touch on the victory when he scored off a free kick in the 90th.

Segovia had eight goals and six assists as a rookie last season, while Mura collected his first assist in his first season.

Dayne St. Clair, the reigning goalkeeper of the year, turned away three shots — all in the second half of his second start with Inter Miami.
