Before their game against Montreal, Inter Miami had been on a terrible run, losing to Orlando City and Minnesota United and drawing twice with the Philadelphia Union and San Jose Earthquakes. However, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi stepped up to put a stop to the team's four-game losing streak and move them up to sixth place in the standings.
Messi found the net 1st in the 27th minute, but the South American pair scored twice to lead the Florida team back to win at the DRV PNK Stadium. The ball was won well up the field, and Sergio Busquets started the onslaught. His team took the lead at halftime thanks to a signature low curler from beyond the box, which the Spaniard lay off for his old Barcelona colleague.
With three goals inside six minutes, the 2nd half was nothing short of spectacular. Miami's second goal came from Messi, who lobbed from the byline to pass the ball to Suarez, who had time and space to neatly direct it from 10 yards out in the last minute. Less than 3 minutes later, Suarez grabbed his brace to make it 3-0, but in the 74th minute, Dante Sealy gave Montreal a response.
