NBA superstar James Harden was very happy after his team Dynamo Houston defeated Inter Miami in the 2023 US Open Cup final.

In the US Open Cup 2023 final match taking place this morning between Houston Dynamo and Inter Miami, the team from Texas, Houston Dynamo, played better and won the final match with a score of 2-1. 

When Houston Dynamo scored a goal to take a 2-0 lead, NBA basketball star and co-owner of the Texas State Club, James Harden, could not hide his joy. The moment the referee blew the whistle to end the match was also the time James Harden went up to the podium to award medals and celebrate the title with the players. 

Houston Dynamo had a good match, but a large part was due to the fact that Inter Miami did not have the services of its most important player, Lionel Messi. If the Argentine player was present, Houston Dynamo certainly could not have had such an easy match.

For James Harden personally, the American basketball star during his peak career was associated with the Houston basketball team, the Houston Rockets. Even though he moved to the Philadelphia 76ers, he still took advantage of the new NBA season that hasn’t started yet and went to watch the team he owns play.

As for Inter Miami, although they missed the opportunity to win a second title after winning the Leagues Cup, this title is actually not too important to them. The Florida team is still setting high goals in MLS this year, but the process of realizing that goal will depend greatly on Messi’s return in the upcoming matches .
