highlights of 1-1 draw without Messi

Inter Miami and Orlando City SC gave the fans a show without Lionel Messi on the pitch.

A hard-nosed battle between two in-state rivals definitely delivered on its promise of high-octane action. The scoreboard reads a different story than the eye test though. Despite the 1-1 tie, Orlando City SC dominated possession all game long. The Orlando forwards consistently pressured Inter Miami’s defenders, which Miami couldn’t handle for most of the game. This led to several offensive opportunities for Orlando, but you know what they say: “Nothing matters if you can’t finish.”

That might be the moral of the story for tonight’s game. Despite outperforming Miami in nearly every metric, Orlando couldn’t finish on their opportunities. Whether it was missed shots with only the keeper to beat, powerful shots directly at Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender, or beautiful crosses that couldn’t find that final touch, Orlando always seemed to be one step away from taking a lead.
