In the League Cup semifinal, Inter Miami hosted Orlando City at home, and the match ended with a confident 3–1 victory for the hosts. In the clash, Lionel Messi, who took the field for the first time after injury, recorded a brace — the legend returned to the stage as if in a blaze. In addition, another goal for Inter Miami was authored by Telasco Segovia, while the only goal of the visitors was recorded in the name of Marco Pashalish.
The scenario on the pitch was formed as follows: the hosts seized the initiative early, keeping the opponent under pressure with quick attacks and accurate passes. Messi’s brace gave the team a psychological edge, and Segovia’s strike consolidated the result. Although Orlando City reduced the score through Marco Pashalish, they did not have enough strength to change the overall picture.
From now on, in the final, Inter Miami will have a decisive clash against the winner of LA Galaxy — Seattle Sounders. In short, the semifinal night was remembered for Messi’s brace, team discipline, and high efficiency — now all eyes are on the final.
