MLS: Luis Suarez Brace Keeps Messi-less Miami At the Top

Inter Miami CF (3W-1L-1D, 10 points) earned a valuable 1-3 win over D.C. United this afternoon to remain unbeaten on the road this 2024  regular season. Goals from strikers Luis Suárez and Leonardo Campana, who bagged a brace and a goal respectively, led the team to the win at Audi Field. 

Luis Suarez recorded his second brace in Major League Soccer as Inter Miami claimed a crucial 3-1 victory away at DC United.

The Uruguayan superstar netted in the 72nd and 85th minute after Leonardo Campana had cancelled out Jared Stroud’s opener for the hosts.

Miami were without the services of captain Lionel Messi due to injury but still claimed their third win in five Eastern Conference outings this term.

No risks

Inter Miami boss Tata Martino will take a cautious approach towards Lionel Messi’s injury after the superstar forward was substituted in the 3-1 victory over Nashville.

The Argentine, 36, scored in the first half to help book a place in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-finals but had to leave the pitch in the 50th minute after suffering discomfort in his right leg as Miami won 5-3 on aggregate.

Martino said: “Leo has a muscle overload in his right leg. We don’t want to take any kind of risk with him.”

Inter Miami will now remain on the road for its next matchup, with the team set to visit the New York Red Bulls next Saturday, March 23 at Red Bull Arena at 2 p.m. ET.
