(VIDEO) This is how James Harden celebrated Houston Dynamo's goal against Messi's Inter Miami

Inter Miami is not having a good time in the final of the US Open Cup. Lionel Messi has not been called up for this match after failing to overcome the various physical discomforts he has had in recent matches. However, the club had shown that it could achieve important results in the absence of Lionel Messi. This has finally not been seen because they already lose 2-0 in the first half.

Houston Dynamo surprises Inter Miami and beats them 2-0 at the DRV PNK Stadium with goals from Griffin Dorsey and Amine Bassi. The Houston Dynamo even had the third goal. Amine Bassi finished crosswise and the ball went close to Callender's post. The visit is far superior to Inter Miami. This meeting has been greatly enjoyed by an NBA legend, who is in fact a strong shareholder of this Houston team.

The 34-year-old basketball player, who was the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 2018 and led the United States to gold medals at the 2012 London Olympics and the 2014 FIBA World Cup, joined the board of directors headed by the president and majority shareholder, Ted Segal, and his vice president, Lyle Ayes. In this way, Harden added another investment to his project portfolio. For this reason, he is very happy with the result of the match.

A forgettable first half for Inter Miami 

Those led by Argentine coach Gerardo Martino did not have a first half against a visiting team that took the lead 23 minutes into the first half. Dorsey beat Drake Callender and nailed a cross shot, after a great counterattack from his team and an assist from Arthur. The second appeared at 30' when DeAndre Yedlin made a clear foul on Nelson Quiñones inside the area, so the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty and then it was Bassi who made it 2-0 for his team.
