Messi and his teammates lead 3-0 and lose with a “dramatic remontada” (video)

Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, squandered its 3-0 lead and lost to its host Orlando City 3-4 on Saturday, in the Major League Soccer (MLS), continuing the search for its first victory in its new stadium, “Nou Stadium.”
Miami seemed on its way to achieving victory in Argentine star Messi’s 100th match for the South Florida team.
But Orlando scored the last four goals to inflict the “Hirones” on their second loss this season in the league.
A wonderful goal by world champion Messi (38 years old) in the 33rd minute gave the hosts a 3-0 lead, when the former Spanish Barcelona star shot a curling ball with his left foot from outside the penalty area into the net of Orlando’s Canadian goalkeeper, Maxime Crepeau.
Jamaican Ian Fry opened the scoring for Miami in the fourth minute, before Venezuelan Telasco Segovia doubled the lead in the 25th minute.
But the team coached by Argentine Guillermo Hoyos was unable to maintain the rhythm.
It’s crazy!!!!! Crazy scenario happening!!!!!!!

Argentine Martin Ojeda scored the first three goals for Orlando, reducing the difference with a wonderful long-range shot (39).
Ojeda repeated the same scenario with another shot from the outskirts of the area (68).
He equalized from a penalty kick (79), raising his score to seven goals in 11 matches this season.
Trinidadian Tyrese Spicer completed the amazing comeback in stoppage time of the second half, after he took advantage of a long ball behind the defenders and finished it between the legs of Canadian goalkeeper Dane St. Clair.
Miami occupies third place in the Eastern Conference standings after 11 matches, while Orlando, the future club of Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, is in thirteenth place.
