Inter Miami this Saturday consolidated its leadership in the Eastern Conference of the MLS by linking their fifth victory with a 2-3 comeback on the Montreal court thanks to the goals of the Paraguayan Matías Rojas, the Uruguayan Luis Suárez and the American Benjamín Cremaschi. ‘El Pistolero’ Suárez scored his eleventh goal today in twelve days of the season in which the Garzas team has shown signs of knowing how to win games from a disadvantaged position.
Today, the Canadians took the lead in the 22nd minute with a goal from Bryce Duke, a former Inter player, who filtered the ball between goalkeeper Drake Callender’s legs after receiving a pass from Jules-Anthony Vilsaint. Ten minutes later Vilsaint himself extended the score thanks to the assistance of Costa Rican Ariel Lassiter. The Paraguayan Rojas scored with a great goal that headed into Jonathan Sirois’s corner.
Messi gave the scare in the first half
The 2-1 could have seemed like a good result to go into the break, but in a corner the pupils of Argentine coach Tata Martino equalized through Suárez, who capitalized on a gross error by goalkeeper Duke in the clearance. Before the end of the first half Messi gave a scare with an injury warning, but he was able to finish the match. The second half started balanced. The chances were distributed in both areas, but Inter Miami completed their comeback in the 59th minute.
The play was started by Lionel Messi in his own half, followed by the Paraguayan Rojas, who assisted with a through pass to Benjamín Cremaschi, a talent of Argentine origin born 19 years ago in Miami. Cremaschi scored by beating Sirois with an unorthodox touch on the ball when he appeared to have lost it in a dispute with Lassiter. With half an hour left, Montreal had chances to score, but Messi also had a couple of plays.
