Orlando opened the scoring in the first half through Martin Ojeda beating Oscar Ustari with a strong finish. Their lead lasted only seven minutes before Allende scored his second goal of preseason. As was the case in 2024, sloppy Miami defending resulted in another Orlando goal in the second half with Ojeda assisting Ramiro Enrique.

The preseason rehearsals end Friday night in Tampa for Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates, who will face MLS rival Orlando City at Raymond James Stadium.

Inter Miami finished their 2025 preseason with a 2-2 draw against Orlando City, with Lionel Messi playing 75 minutes in front of a crowd of 42,017 in Tampa, Florida.
