Inter Miami CF said farewell to their undefeated MLS regular season on Sunday, falling 4–3 to FC Dallas after holding a 3–1 lead in the second half.
Head coach Javier Mascherano opted to rotate his team for the first time in 2025, sitting Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets and Oscar Ustari with an eye towards a comeback in the Concacaf Champions Cup against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Goalkeeper Drake Callender took the start over Ustari and made five saves on nine shots while new striker signing Allen Obando scored in his first start as a lone striker in a new 5-4-1 formation.
FC Dallas took the lead in the eighth minute from a Shaq Moore strike at the back post before the USMNT center back barreled a shot into his own goal to bring Miami level at 1–1.
Obando and Martínez then found the net for Miami to give them the 3–1 advantage before Osaze Urhoghide, Anderson Julio and Pedrinho scored to complete the comeback for Dallas.
The win pushed Miami to fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 18 points through nine games, and left them without a win against FC Dallas in their seven all-time meetings.
With the loss behind them and rest for their stars, Miami look to Wednesday against Vancouver, hoping to overturn a 2–0 deficit from Leg 1 of the Champions Cup semifinal.
Here are three takeaways from Miami’s collapse against Dallas.
