Inter Miami secured a convincing 3-1 victory over D.C. United in a thrilling match that showcased their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. The game started off with both teams showing their intent to dominate proceedings, but it was Inter Miami who took the lead through a well-taken goal by Gonzalo Higuain. D.C. United fought back and equalized shortly after, but Inter Miami regained control of the game with goals from Rodolfo Pizarro and Lewis Morgan.
The win was a testament to Inter Miami's growing confidence and chemistry on the field, as they displayed slick passing combinations and clinical finishing throughout the match. Their defense also stood strong against D.C. United's attacks, limiting their opportunities to score.
Luis Suárez, the 37-year-old Uruguayan striker who joined his friend Messi in Major League Soccer, scored two goals in 23 minutes off the bench to help Inter Miami snag a 3-1 victory against D.C. United at Audi Field.
Suárez entered the match as a substitute in the 62nd minute, and found the back of the net in 10 minutes. He secured a brace with a goal in the 85th minute to seal Inter Miami’s victory.
“He had about 30 minutes in the game, and he defined the game,” Inter Miami coach Tata Martino said of Suárez, whose tear in MLS continues with six goals with five assists in seven games across all competitions.
Noah Allen and Nicolas Freire, got in behind the duo and unleashed a blast that sailed past Callender for his first goal of the season.
Campana answered 10 minutes later after initially being denied from close range on a header. The Ecuadorean striker benefited from defender Federico Redondo keeping the ball in play while on his back before providing a proper finish with a left-footed shot from the center of the box. The goal was Campana's second in as many MLS matches.
Notably, Messi was still part of the conversation in absentia. Multiple reporters pressed Martino for further details about the “overload” in his right leg that led to an early exit from Wednesday’s CCC win, wondering whether it could affect the GOAT’s availability for Argentina’s upcoming international friendlies in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
“Messi's injury must be dealt with week by week, and we will evaluate it. What is clear is that there is a goal with him, which is to play in the Concacaf quarterfinals [vs. CF Monterrey on April 3 and 10],” said Martino, himself a former Argentina manager.
