Martín Ojeda Fires Orlando City Past Inter Miami 4-3

Martín Ojeda turned a 3-0 hole into a 4-3 Orlando City win over Inter Miami, scoring three times in the comeback. Inter Miami had led by three before Ojeda’s finish changed the match and left Lionel Messi’s 100th appearance for the club tied to a home defeat.

Ojeda’s three-goal swing

Ojeda scored Orlando City’s first goal before halftime, then struck again to make it 3-2. He finished his hat trick with a left-footed penalty, and that sequence pulled Orlando back from a margin that had looked secure for Miami.

Spicer added Orlando City’s fourth goal in stoppage time. That final strike completed the rally after Inter Miami had already seen a 3-0 lead disappear inside the same match.

Messi’s 100th Miami match

Messi marked his 100th appearance for Inter Miami by assisting Segovia for the opening goal and then scoring in the 33rd minute after an individual move outside the box. Even with those moments, Miami could not hold the advantage.

The result also landed in a broader stretch of frustration for Miami at its new stadium, where it still has not won, with three draws and one loss. Orlando’s comeback turned a milestone night for Messi into a loss that Miami could not absorb.

Miami’s standings pressure

Inter Miami fell four points behind the leader Nashville and has one more match played. Messi now has four MLS matches left before the World Cup, while Argentina is scheduled to play two friendlies against Honduras and Serbia before the tournament on 11 June.

For Miami, the scoreline is the part that will linger: 3-0 up, then 4-3 down, at home, on a night built around a club milestone. For Orlando City, Ojeda’s hat trick and Spicer’s stoppage-time goal delivered the kind of away result that changes the tone of a derby immediately.
