D.C. United vs Inter Miami
Match Report
Inter Miami rolled into Baltimore and grabbed all three points, downing DC United 2-1 at a packed M&T Bank Stadium. A massive crowd of 72,026 turned out — and Lionel Messi gave them a show, bagging his 899th career goal in typically clinical fashion.
Rodrigo De Paul broke the deadlock in the 17th minute before Messi doubled the lead ten minutes later, coolly chipping goalkeeper Sean Johnson after latching onto a clever pass from Mateo Silvetti. Tai Baribo pulled one back for the hosts in the 75th minute, but DC United couldn't find an equalizer despite a spirited late push.
The result hands Inter Miami their second straight win to open the 2026 MLS campaign, while DC United slip to 1-2-0 on the young season. All eyes now turn to Messi's hunt for career goal number 900 — he'll get his next crack when Miami visit Nashville in the Concacaf Champions Cup on Wednesday.
