However, the club failed to establish itself as expected and with the absence of Lionel Messi, it fell resoundingly in the match against the Houston Dynamo.

Beckham and Zidane were on the DRV PNK Stadium court for a few minutes talking before the US Open Cup Final began. However, the former Real Madrid coach did not see a good version of Inter Miami. On behalf of the Houston Dynamo, NBA star James Harden came to support the team of which he is a shareholder and greatly celebrated the scores that put the Texan club ahead in the first half of the match.
