Luis Suárez woke everyone up early in the Clásico del Sol and scored his first official goals in Inter Miami, which beat Orlando City at home in the MLS (5-0). Furthermore, in a brilliant day, he contributed two assists.
Four minutes had not passed at Chase Stadium when César Araújo lost the ball at the start against Suárez himself, whose rebound left the ball served to Lionel Messiwho opened with Julian Gressel. The German, from the right wing, made a great pass to the Pistolero, who first kicked to the near post, displacing Pedro Gallese and opening the scoring.
And shortly after, as Orlando was absorbing the early blow, Suárez scored his second goal of the afternoon (11'). A tremendous collective play by the Tata Martino team led to the possession of Suárez, who with sheer power left a rival in the path and left the ball to Gressel. The German midfielder returned the wall with a quality touch and Suárez, entering the area, made it 2-0, with a great shot.
To complete a perfect initial stage, the Gressel-Suárez formula was repeated again, with a great pass from the former Columbus Crew for the native of Salto, who hit just and cleared, but this time the attacker served the 3-0 to Robert Taylor, who only had to push her with the bow at his mercy. Finally, in one of the last moments of the first half, Suárez received from Messi, dribbled past Gallese and added another victory, but this was annulled by a fine advanced position.
In the second half he flirted with continuing to add assists, serving up goals for Gressel (his shot hit the crossbar) and Jordi Alba (his shot was cleared off the line and became Messi's first goal), something he achieved after the half. hour of play, when he sent a perfect cross to the Argentine star, who scored the final 5-0 with a header.
With this contribution from the Uruguayan forward, Inter Miami remains at the top of the MLS, a competition in which the former Barcelona had not yet become. In six preseason games, he had barely scored a goal, in the tight defeat against Al-Hilal, and he had not done so in his first official matches, against Real Salt Lake and LA Galaxy.
This Saturday, in the Clásico del Sol, El Pistolero began to demonstrate his validity, as in last season with Gremio, a club with which he celebrated 26 times in 53 appearances.
