Lionel Messi celebrated his 100th appearance for Inter Miami with a clinical goal, yet the milestone was overshadowed by a stunning second-half collapse against Orlando City during MLS Matchday 11.

The Argentine icon opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a signature strike from the edge of the area. At that point, the Florida franchise appeared in total control, leading the visitors 3-0.

**The comeback**

The momentum shifted just before the interval when Messi's compatriot, Martín Ojeda, pulled one back for Orlando. Ojeda dominated the second half, completing a sensational hat-trick to level the scores and silence the home crowd.

**Stall at the new stadium**

The final blow arrived in stoppage time. In the 93rd minute, Tyrese Spicer clinically finished a counter-attack to secure a 4-3 victory for Orlando City.

The defeat highlights a troubling trend for Inter Miami, as the club remains winless at its new stadium after four home fixtures.
