But for Inter, beyond the conquest that is another pearl of Rosario’s collection, what this goal and also that of Luis Suárez represented, was an injection of encouragement in the face of what is to come in the MLS, since the main team right now is the local league. Tata Martino is clear about it and that is why he commented: “We had to get out of the dynamic of tied games, lost games, and mistakes. We recovered sensations again and in that sense we are satisfied”.
