Inter Miami’s five-match winning run came to an end on Wednesday, without the injured Lionel Messi, as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Orlando City.
Messi had featured in all five of those wins for the Major League Soccer (MLS) league leaders but sat out the game in Orlando due to a knee injury.
Miami said the injury was not serious and Messi has trained in recent days but the club opted not to feature him in the midweek fixture.
Messi’s former Barcelona team-mate Luis Suarez, who went into the midweek round of games as joint top-scorer in the league with 11 goals did start and he had the early chances.
