Inter Miami delivered a remarkable team effort during their away clash with CF Montreal on Saturday evening, especially considering the subdued performance of their superstar, Lionel Messi.
This marked Messi’s first game this year across all competitions without making a goal contribution, putting the spotlight on others to rise to the occasion – and they certainly did.
Securing a 3-2 win on Canadian soil, Inter Miami witnessed goals from Matias Rojas, Luis Suarez, and Benjamin Cremaschi, which propelled them to victory.
Yet, the match began with a familiar storyline for Miami: defensive struggles. Montreal took the lead with two unanswered goals in the 22nd and 32nd minute. However, Miami responded in characteristic fashion, capitalizing on their attacking opportunities.
Matias Rojas, making only his third appearance for Miami, stunned with a goal-of-the-season contender, converting an audacious free kick in the 44th minute. Shortly after, Luis Suarez leveled the score with a clever finish just before halftime, marking his 11th goal of the MLS season and extending his scoring streak to five consecutive league matches.
Benjamin Cremaschi, aiming for a spot with the US Men’s National Team at the Paris Olympics, secured his second goal of the campaign, netting the game-winner with an assist from Rojas, securing a crucial three points for Miami.
In a match where their star player showed signs of mortality, the rest of the team stepped up admirably, allowing Lionel Messi a breather while still achieving a positive outcome.
