Uruguayan striker and living legend Luis ‘El Pistolero’ Suárez On Saturday he scored his second consecutive double in the current Major League Soccer season and prolonged the sweet moment that Las Garzas’ team, Inter Miami, is currently experiencing, who are anxiously following the return of the other forward, the Argentine Lionel Messi, who is still out due to an injury to his right ankle.
I fight simply unstoppable
The Florida team obtained a new victory with a score by 4 goals to 1 against the Chicago Fire in a duel that took place at the Soldier Field Stadium in the city of Chicago, and in this way they gain 3 new points and reaffirm their status as sole leaders in the Eastern Conference.
The good level that Inter Miami is currently experiencing is exciting much to the club’s fans as this has been achieved without Lionel Messi on the pitch, as it must be remembered that the forward from Rosario has an injury that he has been carrying since the final of the Copa América last year when Argentina defeated the Colombian national team.
How is Messi doing?
Messi has already returned to training with the group this week and his return to the playing fields is getting closer, but he has not yet received medical clearance, so the work he is doing is to gradually get back into the rhythm of the game. Inter Miami has already qualified for the MLS playoffs with 8 regular season games still to go, so forcing Messi’s return is not in the plans of Argentine coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino.
Connections like in the days of Barcelona
Inter Miami took to the field with Sergio Busquets playing central defense, in a 3-4-2-1 formation created by Martino where Jordi Alba played as a winger on the left flank and Suárez as the lone striker. ‘El Pistolero’ had another impressive match where he forced the first goal in the 25th minute of play with an accurate shot at the opposite goal that was stopped by goalkeeper Chris Brady, but finally it was an own goal by Andrew Gutman.
The 2-0 came 50 seconds into the restart with a shot with his left foot that knocked Brady out of the way and the double came in the 66th minute of play when he finished easily after a precise cross from Jordi Alba. The Uruguayan forward has scored a total of 16 goals so far this MLS campaign.
The Greek Giorgios Koutsias was in charge of scoring the goal Chicago Fire made it 1-3 in the 82nd minute of play after finishing off a cross from Kellyn Acosta, but Robert Taylor sealed the match in the 93rd minute with the final score of 4-1.
Championships in Las Garzas’ sights
Inter Miami continues to be a solid leader of the Conference Eastern Conference with 59 points so far, eight more than a Cincinnati led by Venezuelan forward Kevin Kelsy, who also contributed with a goal to his team’s 4-1 win over Montreal this Saturday. ‘Tata’ Martino’s team is in the fight to win two championships this season, the Supporters’ Shield for the best club in the regular season, and the MLS Cup (title awarded to the winner of the playoffs).
