(MLS Round 12) Inter Miami fielded their strongest lineup with Messi, Suarez, Busquets, but they suddenly let their opponents take the lead at home.
With home field advantage and an outstanding star lineup, Inter Miami clearly shows its determination to overwhelm the New York Red Bulls. However, when they could not concretize the opportunities in the first half, the home team had to receive “a bucket of cold water”. In the 30th minute, Vanzeir suddenly scored to open the score for the away team.
Messi contributed 1 goal in the home team’s 6-1 victory
Being ahead by their opponents seemed to make Inter Miami players feel self-conscious. After failing to score an equalizer in the first half, the home team attacked with all their might in the second half and that was an opportunity for stars like Messi and Suarez to show off their scoring ability. Matias Rojas was the first to “fire the shot” in Inter Miami’s impressive comeback with the equalizer in the 48th minute. He himself scored a double in the 62nd minute of the match.
The next minutes witnessed the brilliance of Messi and especially Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan striker earned himself an impressive hat-trick, while Messi also scored 1 goal and 5 assists, contributing to 6 goals for the home team. At minute 90+7 of injury time, the away team scored one more goal thanks to Forsberg on the 11th spot to close the match with 8 goals scored.
This victory helps Inter Miami continue to lead MLS in the Eastern region with 24 points after 12 matches played.
