    GOAL DISALLOWED

    Swift and efficient!! Houston stream forward in a counter attack and this time they make it count. Bassi lays it on a plate for Quinones, who hits it first time to make it 3-0.

    GOAL
    GOAL!!

    Houston Dynamo deservedly takes the lead.

    Preview

    Inter Miami will wait until the “last moment” to see if Lionel Messi is fit to play in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup final against Houston Dynamo, coach Gerardo Martino said.

    The Argentina captain is a doubt for the U.S. Open Cup final when his team will aim to claim their second title after winning the Leagues Cup last month.

    “We are going to wait for Leo until tomorrow, until the last moment,” Martino told a news conference on Tuesday. “I’m going to sit down with him, see what his feelings are. We’ll probably come to an agreement tomorrow.
