Suarez opens MLS goal-scoring account

Suarez capitalised on a well-executed low cross from Julian Gressel, directing the ball into the near post to give his team the early lead.

Not content with just one, the 37-year-old and Gressel combined once again, with Suarez securing his second goal of the night within 11 minutes of play, according to the BBC.

This time, the duo orchestrated a seamless play in front of the Orlando City box as the American midfielder deftly set up Suarez for a powerful left-footed strike into the bottom corner, extending Inter Miami's lead.

He was poised to have a flawless first 45 minutes, if not for a VAR review that disallowed his goal and deemed him offside right before halftime.

Nonetheless, he played a pivotal role in assisting teammate Robert Taylor for the third goal as Inter Miami, under Gerardo Martino's guidance, surged to a commanding three-nil lead before the break.
