Messi's Brilliance Can't Halt Inter Miami's Shocking Collapse!

Inter Miami threw away a 3-0 lead against Orlando City in a quite remarkable collapse against their Florida rivals, losing 4-3 and continuing their winless streak at Nu Stadium. Lionel Messi had a goal and two assists, but it was Miami's defense that was called into question, with countless lapses seeing them drop points at home for the fourth straight game.

Goalkeeper & Defense

Dayne St. Clair (6/10):

Could do nothing about Orlando's goal in the first half. Pretty helpless for the next two. Nutmugged for the fourth, and made a few decent saves in between.

Ian Fray (6/10):

Took his header incredibly well. Covered defensively, linked in the final third. Removed with a worrying injury after 66 minutes.

Maxi Falcon (4/10):

A bit of a nightmare. Never fully looked after his man, gave up a pen, and was erratic throughout.

Micael (4/10):

All over the place positionally. Had no clue whether to step or drop deep.

Noah Allen (6/10):

Orlando didn't have loads down his side, and he moved the ball well.

Midfield

Yannick Bright (6/10):

Rather overrun in midfield at times, although he was often outnumbered.

Rodrigo De Paul (6/10):

Not his best game. Was on the ball a ton, but didn't do much with it whatsoever.

Telasco Segovia (7/10):

Set up Fray's goal. Did loads of running. Solid, as per usual.

Lionel Messi (8/10):

Thrived in a free role, especially in the first half. Hard to argue with a goal and two assists.

Attack

German Berterame (6/10):

Struggled to get into his spots after being started on the left. Full of effort, but little to show for it.

Luis Suarez (7/10):

Made a real impact. Instrumental in the build up to the second goal, and could've had one himself. Looked exhausted when he was subbed.


Subs & Manager

Facundo Mura (5/10):

Replaced the injured Fray. Absolutely torched for Orlando's fourth goal.

Tadeo Allende (5/10):

Barely made an impact in 20 minutes.

Guillermo Hoyos (5/10):

Started Suarez and Berterame. He seemed to have gotten it right after 45 minutes. But his team crumbled. It's been a miserable start at the new stadium.
