over Orlando City
Lionel Messi, Telasco Segovia rally Inter Miami to 4-2 victory over Orlando City
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) --- 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 night, winning for the
first time at Inter&Co Stadium.
Messi took a pass from Segovia and scored in the 57th minute to pull Inter
Miami (1-1-0) even at 2-2 and Segovia scored unassisted in the 85th for the
lead. Messi put the finishing touch on the victory when he scored off a free
kick in the 90th. The reigning MVP's first two goals of the season give him 52
in his first 55 regular-season MLS matches --- 51 of them in his last 49
appearances.
Marco Pasalic took a pass from Ivn Angulo and scored in the 18th minute to
give Orlando City (0-2-0) a 1-0 lead. Pasalic has scored in four straight
matches against Inter Miami.
Defender Griffin Dorsey set up Martn Ojeda for a goal six minutes later for a
2-0 advantage that stood through halftime.
Inter Miami cut it to 2-1 four minutes into the second half on Mateo Silvetti's
first career goal. Defenders Segovia and Facundo Mura had assists as the
20-year-old forward found the net in his fifth career appearance. 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.
Maxime Crpeau had four saves in his second start for Orlando City.
Teenager Colin Guske, 19, will miss Orlando City's next match after the rookie
picked up two yellow cards in his first start --- the second one led to his
exit in the 88th minute.
Inter Miami, which had never won in its previous nine trips to Orlando, was
coming off a 3-0 road loss to Los Angeles FC.
Orlando City swept Inter Miami during the regular season last year and leads
the all-time series 8-7-4.
