Inter Miami star Lionel Messi stayed home in South Florida, but fans in the nation’s capital saw another soccer star shine on the pitch Saturday afternoon.
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.
