Inter Miami produced a commanding 4-0 victory over DC United

Inter Miami produced a commanding 4-0 victory over DC United on 11 October, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez combining to devastating effect in their MLS regular-season encounter.

Just days after his emotional appearance for Argentina against Benin in Buenos Aires, Messi returned to club duty and continued his remarkable scoring run. The Argentine forward opened his account shortly after half-time, finishing clinically from a clever Suárez pass inside the penalty area. He then doubled his tally with a dazzling solo effort, weaving past three defenders before finding the net with a precise angled finish. The goal brought Messi’s MLS season total to 23, strengthening his position among the competition’s leading scorers.

Suárez had already established Miami’s dominance before the interval, converting two assists from German Berterame to register a first-half double. Despite the emphatic victory, Inter Miami remain second in the Eastern Conference standings, behind Nashville.
