Messi shines, but Miami falters as MLS weekend exposes defensive woes

Inter Miami’s 4-3 loss to Orlando City keeps them winless in four as Lionel Messi delivers a moment of magic but the team’s defensive frailties persist, even amid a midseason coaching shift to Guillermo Hoyos after Mascherano’s resignation. The piece also notes ongoing Miami media/access tensions and broader MLS storylines, including 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan’s substitution controversy for the Union and the San Diego FC/Chucky Lozano saga, capped by a stoppage-time winner for LAFC over San Diego amid Lozano’s absence and fan banners calling for his return.
