Inter Miami’s Statement Win Without Messi
"Even without Lionel Messi, Inter Miami rolled to a convincing 4-1 MLS victory over Houston Dynamo this past Sunday, powered by Telasco Segovia’s brace, Luis Suárez’s goal, and another from Argentine star Tadeo Allende."
This marked Inter Miami’s first victory of the MLS season following last week's 2-2 home draw against New York City FC.
Messi’s Absence & Team Strategy Explained
"Messi did not travel to Houston—no injury reports surfaced, indicating this was a strategic decision by coach Javier Mascherano to rest and rotate players."
"With Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba anchoring the starting lineup, Inter Miami quickly stamped their authority, netting three of their four goals before halftime."
Goals that Made the Difference
"Segovia opened the scoring in the 6th minute, capitalizing brilliantly on a defensive mistake by Houston during their build-up."
"Even more stunning was Miami’s second goal: Allende delivered pure magic in the 37th minute, sprinting forward on a blazing counterattack before unleashing a left-footed rocket into the top corner."
"Completely overwhelmed, Houston Dynamo conceded a third just before halftime (47’) as their defense melted away, allowing Segovia to tap home with ease."
Key Player Performances
At just 21 years old, Venezuelan talent Telasco Segovia is off to an explosive MLS start, netting three goals in two games. His dramatic 100th-minute equalizer last week rescued a crucial point for Inter Miami, who had played most of the match with ten men.
"Houston Dynamo showed slight signs of improvement after halftime, but Luis Suárez extinguished any hopes with a clinical finish at age 38, making it 4-0 in the 79th minute."
"Fellow Uruguayan Nico Lodeiro salvaged a consolation goal for the Texas side in the 85th minute."
