ICYMI: Inter Miami Plays for U.S. Open Cup Title

If you missed our preview, here it is as Inter Miami will host Houston Dynamo in the U.S. Open Cup final at DRV PNK Stadium.

Of course, the biggest question isn’t how packed DRV PNK will be tonight, but rather if Lionel Messi will start, come off the bench or ride the pine as he is suffering from a scar tissue issue that has kept him sidelined.

Inter Miami defender Jordi Alba is likely not going to play after not playing in the Derby with Orlando City and coming off in the first half of Inter’s 4-0 win over Toronto.

The big meaning behind the match is, with a win, Inter Miami will lift its second trophy this season… and in club history.
