- Lionel Messi expressed frustration over officiating following a 0-3 loss to Orlando City, receiving a yellow card for the second consecutive game.
- Inter Miami has only one win in the last seven matches, dropping to sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
- Coach Javier Mascherano noted the team's strong first half but acknowledged that individual mistakes and lapses in concentration led to their downfall in the second half.
- Despite holding 65% possession, Miami managed only four shots on target, while Orlando had 16 shots and scored three goals.
We had a great first half, we were attacking, creating scoring chances. Then there was a strange play where one of their players gave the [Orlando] goalkeeper a pass and the referee said, he told me, he didn’t know the rule and didn’t see it that way. From there came their long pass and the goal.— Lionel Messi comments after the loss to Orlando City regarding the referee's decision.
