Inter Miami 1-2 Houston Dynamo.
Inter Miami entered the 2023 US Open Cup final without Lionel Messi. The Argentinian star had been experiencing health issues and had been frequently absent from recent matches.
Without Messi and Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets alone couldn't control the midfield and dictate the game. David Beckham's team came under immense pressure from their opponents. In the 24th and 33rd minutes, Griffin Dorsey and Amine Bassi scored consecutively for Houston Dynamo.
Busquets was unable to help Inter Miami win the US Open Cup.
In the second half, Inter Miami tried to attack and find an equalizer. However, they faced many difficulties against Houston Dynamo's tight defense.
It wasn't until the second minute of added time that Josef Martinez scored to make it 1-2. However, there wasn't enough time left for the pink-shirted team to equalize. They suffered a defeat and missed the chance to win their second trophy of the season. Earlier, Messi had helped Inter Miami win the 2023 Leagues Cup.
