MIAMI (AP) \u2014 Lionel Messi and Inter Miami took a 3-0 lead over rival Orlando City and finally looked poised for a historic first win inside the team’s new stadium.<\/p>\n

Truly, history was made by the city of Orlando.<\/p>\n

Martin Ojeda scored three goals, Tyrese Spicer scored the go-ahead goal three minutes into stoppage time, and Orlando City defeated Inter Miami 4-3 on Saturday night. They became the third team in MLS history to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win.<\/p>\n

“The biggest comeback in MLS history?” read a headline on MLS’s website after the game.<\/p>\n

I’m sure Orlando would say that.<\/p>\n

Messi had one goal and two assists in his 100th appearance for the club, but for some reason it wasn’t enough against a team that entered the night near the bottom of the MLS standings. Inter Miami falls to 0-1-3 at the new stadium, making the defending champions one of only three teams in MLS without a home win so far this season.<\/p>\n

Ian Frey and Telasco Segovia also scored for Inter Miami, which remains unbeaten in its last 11 competitive games (5-0-6) and last nine MLS games (5-0-4). Afterwards, Frei said Messi said in the locker room that the result was “unacceptable”.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all agree with him,\u201d Frey said. “That’s unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

According to MLS, the other two games in which a team fought back from a 3-0 deficit to win (other than the 1996 shootout win by the Metro Stars) were Seattle defeating DC United 4-3 in 2017 and LA Galaxy defeating LAFC 4-3 in 2018.<\/p>\n

Orlando City (3-7-1) has won just two of its last 15 MLS games (including playoffs) dating back to last season. Orlando City also had 0 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw in MLS games this season.<\/p>\n

That didn’t matter. Ojeda scored in the 39th minute to put Orlando up 3-1 at halftime. He scored again in the 68th minute to make things interesting.<\/p>\n

It’s too interesting from Inter Miami’s perspective.<\/p>\n

In the 73rd minute, Ojeda had a great chance to tie the score alone on the right side of the box. However, Inter Miami goalkeeper Dane St. Clair came wide off the goal line and made a close-range save to keep the score at 3-2.<\/p>\n

Ojeda was not denied and converted a penalty in the 78th minute to tie the score at 3-3. There was another chance in the 80th minute, but St. Clair saved it with his face, yes, his face, to keep the game level.<\/p>\n

Spicer ultimately scored the winning goal for the visitors, but Messi and Herrons continued to argue over what they felt was a missed call and time ran out.<\/p>\n

Inter Miami have four games left before MLS’s seven-week break for the FIFA World Cup begins. None of their looming opponents, including Toronto, Cincinnati, Portland and Philadelphia, were above the .500 mark entering Saturday.<\/p>\n
