Suarez comes off bench for brace as Messi-less Miami beat DC

Suarez continued his prolific start to life in MLS with his sixth goal in seven games in all competitions for the South Florida club. Miami had failed to win their last seven games without Messi.

Jared Stroud put for D.C. United ahead. The lead lasted only for 10 minutes, however, with Leonardo Campana turning in after the ball was scooped to him by Federico Redondo.

Uruguayan Suarez was brought on in the 62nd minute and the 37-year-old was to settle the contest.

Just 10 minutes after coming on Suarez finished off a fine move, turning in a low cross from Campana at the back post. Then Suarez was able to find space for a chip that Bono clawed at but was unable to stop crossing the line. D.C United had Pedro Santos sent off after he brought down substitute Shanyder Borgelin in the final minute.
