Messi is out of the game, while Suarez brings victory to Inter over DC United. VIDEO

On March 16, as part of another match in the regular MLS season, Inter Miami traveled to face DC United. Spectators gathered at the cozy stadium in Washington that evening were unable to see the league's main star. Lionel Messi missed this match, just like the previous one, due to a minor injury.

The first half was evenly matched, which was fully reflected on the scoreboard. The guests responded to Stroud's precise shot with a goal from Leonardo Campana. After the break, the hosts looked sharper in front of the opponents' goal and were closer to scoring, but everything changed with the entry of Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan forward stepped onto the field in the 62nd minute, and ten minutes later, he put his team ahead. But the striker didn't stop there, and five minutes before the end, he completed a brace, allowing him to move to the top of the league's leading goalscorers list.
