Inter Miami faced Orlando City in a highly anticipated match, but the absence of Lionel Messi due to a knee injury was a major blow for the team.

Without their star player, the team struggled to make an impact on the field, highlighting the importance of having a well-rounded lineup. The Florida Derby turned into a test of Inter Miami's depth and adaptability, showing that even the biggest stars can't carry a team single-handedly.

Overall, Inter Miami's draw with Orlando City exposed their vulnerabilities without Messi on the field. The team will need to regroup and strategize for future matches to overcome the challenges that come with missing their key player.
