Segovia shows his heart is as big as his talent | OneFootball

Telasco Segovia, 23, dedicated his strike in Inter Miami’s 4-2 Leagues Cup win over Atlético de San Luis to the people of Venezuela. He had spent MLS’s World Cup break helping earthquake victims at home.

According to interheron.com, he travelled with La Vintonito teammate Jon Aramburu and former national team player Tomas Rincon to collect and distribute supplies. More than 6,000 people have been confirmed dead, with damage estimated in the billions of dollars.

Speaking before tonight’s game with CF Monterrey, Segovia said he was pleased to score after events in Venezuela but must keep his focus on football. He added that the goal was for everyone back home and that he hopes it brought some joy.

He described the scenes he witnessed as among the worst of his life, saying being there was nothing like watching clips on a phone. He pledged full support and hopes things improve for families and children who lost relatives.

His San Luis goal was his second of the season and his 10th league goal in 47 appearances. He is level with Lionel Messi and Ricardo De Paul on a team-high 8 MLS assists in 2026.

The Herons may need him to lead again, as four of the club’s top five scorers could miss the Leagues Cup meeting. Messi is travelling to Argentina after his father’s death, Luis Suárez is banned from the competition, and Germán Berterame and Mateo Silvetti are injured. Berterame is doubtful and has not played since an ambulance took him to a Montréal hospital two weeks ago with neck and shoulder injuries and a possible concussion.
