Inter Miami CF Falls In Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup

     The Houston Dynamo defeated Inter Miami CF 2-1 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday night. Inter Miami failed to pull off a championship double after winning the Leagues Cup back in August. Lionel Messi did not dress for the contest. 
     It was the second time that the Dynamo has captured the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Houston had won the trophy in 2018. 
     Houston got out to a 1-0 lead during the 24th minute as Griffin Dorsey scored on a right-footed shot from 12 yards away. Amine Bassi was able to convert on a penalty kick in the 33rd minute for a 2-0 lead. 
     In the second half, Inter Miami CF cut the deficit to 2-1 in stoppage time. Josef Martinez found the back of the net with a left-footed shot from nine yards away.
