Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have won many matches for Barcelona. Even after leaving Spain and coming to the United States, this duo captured the familiar form. Inter Miami won 5-0 against city rivals Orlando City in the Major League Soccer (MLS) match. Messi-Suarez both scored double goals. Robert Taylor scored the other goal.
Miami has been playing organized football since the start of the MLS Eastern Conference match on Saturday (March 2). Last season’s second-place team, Orlando, was nowhere to be found. Miami took the lead in the fourth minute of the match. Julian Gressel’s cross from the right flank was met by Suarez with a superb finish.
Miami started playing with great confidence after getting the goal. They went ahead again in the eleventh minute of the match. This time Suarez is on the scene. The second goal was also excellent. The forward created the attack from well outside the box and played one-two with Gressel and showed magic in the finish.
In the first half, Miami did not get discouraged with two goals. They go to the break only after scoring one more goal. Suarez has an assist on this goal as well. Taylor found a net in it. David Beckham’s side went into the break leading 3-0.
Miami looked familiar in the second half. Messi scored two goals in 5 minutes. Suraj also contributed to these two goals. The World Cup winning star scored his first and the team’s fourth goal in the 57th minute. Messi put the final nail in Orland’s coffin in the 62nd minute.
Messi said about Suarez after the match, ‘He managed to score, I am very happy for him. But we were calm. We know what Luis (Suarez) is like and what he can do. When you least expect him, he will show it all with a performance like he did today.’
Miami did not do well last season. However, the team is in a great rhythm this season. Their captain Messi wants to keep it. Messi said about his performance after the match, ‘We are doing well and enjoying the game. It was important to win today’s match.’
At the end of this match, Miami is at the top of the MLS Eastern Conference points table. They have 7 points from 3 matches with two wins and one draw. Columbus is second with 1 win and 4 points in 2 matches. Orland City is in 12th place with 1 loss and 1 draw in equal matches.
