Inter Miami played against Houston Dynamo today in an exciting MLS match. The game happened at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas. It was Matchday 2 of the 2025 MLS season. Inter Miami won with a big score of 4-1. Fans were surprised because Lionel Messi did not play. Still, the team showed great skill and teamwork.

The match started at 5:30 AM IST, which is Sunday evening in Houston. Inter Miami took the lead very early. Telasco Segovia scored the first goal in the 6th minute. He kicked the ball hard into the net. Houston Dynamo players tried to stop him, but they could not. The crowd was quiet after this fast goal. Inter Miami looked strong from the beginning.

Later, in the 37th minute, Rodrigo Allende added another goal. He got the ball near the penalty box. His shot was quick and tricky. The Houston goalkeeper, Andrew Tarbell, jumped to catch it but missed. The score became 2-0. Inter Miami fans cheered loudly on social media. They were happy with the team’s attack.

Just before halftime, Segovia scored again. It was in the 45+2nd minute. This was his second goal of the night. He found space between Houston’s defenders. His shot went low and fast. Tarbell had no chance to save it. The score was now 3-0. Houston Dynamo looked tired and confused. They had only won one game in 2025 so far. This made things harder for them.

In the second half, Houston tried to fight back. They pushed forward more. At one point, they thought they scored. But the referee said it was offside. The goal did not count. This made Houston fans upset. Inter Miami stayed calm and kept control. Their defense was solid. Players like Sergio Busquets helped stop Houston’s attacks.

Then, in the 79th minute, Luis Suarez made it 4-0. He is a famous striker for Inter Miami. Suarez got the ball inside the box. He turned fast and shot it high. The ball flew past Tarbell into the net. It was a beautiful goal. Suarez smiled and waved to the fans. This goal sealed the win for Inter Miami. They were now too far ahead.

Houston Dynamo finally scored in the 85th minute. Nicolás Lodeiro kicked the ball in from a corner. It was their only goal of the match. The score became 4-1. Houston fans clapped, but it was too late. They could not catch up. The game was almost over.

At the very end, something strange happened. Ian Fray from Inter Miami got a red card. It was after the final whistle. Some said it was not fair. Others thought he argued with the referee. This did not change the result. Inter Miami still won. The red card was a small problem after a big victory.

Even without Lionel Messi, Inter Miami played very well. Messi was rested for this game. Reports said he stayed back for a Concacaf Champions Cup match later. Coach Javier Mascherano was proud. This was his first MLS win as coach. He said the team worked hard together.

Houston Dynamo struggled in this match. They lost 2-1 to FC Dallas last week. Now, they lost again. Their defense made mistakes. Their attack was not strong enough. Fans hoped for a better game, but it did not happen. Houston offered free tickets to another match. They wanted to thank fans who came to watch.

The final score was Houston Dynamo 1, Inter Miami 4. Segovia scored twice. Allende and Suarez each scored once. Lodeiro got Houston’s goal. Inter Miami’s unbeaten run is now 8 games. They are looking strong in 2025. Fans on X posted about the win. One wrote, “Inter Miami is unstoppable!” Another said, “Segovia is a star!”

This match showed Inter Miami’s power. Even without their biggest player, they dominated. Houston Dynamo needs to fix their problems. The MLS season is just starting. Both teams will play again soon. For now, Inter Miami celebrates a great night in Houston.
