Messi’s Inter Miami back in MLS action against DC United | OneFootball

Las Garzas, who come from winning 4-2 in the classic against Orlando City, play their third consecutive away match in the capital of the United States.

DC United and Inter Miami will face each other this Saturday, starting at 6:30 PM, at Audi Field for the third round of the regular MLS season. Lionel Messi’s team left behind the heavy defeat suffered in their debut with a clear victory in the Clásico del Sol and are aiming for their second consecutive win in the championship.

How Inter Miami and DC United arrive to the MLS clash

Las Garzas began the regular season with a tough 3-0 defeat against Los Angeles FC in California, but managed to bounce back immediately against Orlando City in the classic, with a 4-2 victory. The team led by Javier Mascherano started off losing 2-0, but with a stellar Lionel Messi, who scored two goals, they turned the game around and ended up celebrating at Inter&Co Stadium.

Beyond this match against DC United, Inter Miami has its mind set on the Concacaf Champions Cup, known as Concachampions, as next Wednesday they will play the first leg of the round of 16 against Nashville, also as visitors.

Before the match, the entire Inter squad visited the White House to meet with Donald Trump, president of the United States, in a North American tradition that dates back decades. Since Las Garzas became MLS champions in 2025, they were with the president at an event that left several memorable moments.

For their part, the Black-and-Red won 1-0 in their debut against Philadelphia United and then lost by the same score against Austin FC as visitors. The team from the U.S. capital wants to recover from a forgettable 2025 in which they finished last in the Eastern Conference with 26 points in 34 matches.
