Inter Miami's clash against Orlando City was marked by the absence of superstar Lionel Messi due to a knee injury, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his return.

Matias Rojas, on the other hand, stepped up with a spectacular free kick goal, showcasing his talent and contribution to Inter Miami's success this season.

Despite the setback, Inter Miami's goalkeeper, Drake Callender, showed his skill with three crucial saves, securing a clean sheet for the team.

Matias Rojas, the Paraguayan winger, has been on fire for Inter Miami, easing the burden on Messi and other key players. His recent back-to-back AT&T Goal of the Matchday awards highlight his impact and growing importance within the team. With Rojas' impressive form, Inter Miami's attack continues to dazzle in the MLS, even in Messi's absence.

The Florida derby may have been missing Messi, but it showcased the resilience and depth of Inter Miami's squad. As the team navigates through challenges and injuries, the spotlight remains on how they adapt and thrive, with rising stars like Matias Rojas leading the charge.
