Gonzalo Higuaín
was instrumental in Inter Miami's 3-2 victory over Chicago Fire
.
But just before putting together the play that would end in Rodolfo Pizarro's agonizing goal, Pipita could not realize
an opportunity also generated by himself when the game was 2-2.
When the clock showed minute 87, the Argentine forward received a long pass, adjusted the body and before the mark of two rival defenders managed to get a shot inside the area.
Beyond the proximity of the arch, the truth is that
Higuaín was not comfortable and it was already an achievement to have been able to face it.
The shot went just above the crossbar and seemed to be the last chance.

In the adrenaline rush of a game with a thousand emotions - Inter fell 2-0 and had tied it -
David Beckham
could not hide his anger at that wasted play.
The Englishman, owner of the club, looked at everything from the bench with his usual elegance but gave a typical British insult to the air:
"Fuck off!".
After the play he put together, Higuaín celebrated the goal as his own.

Who could not believe it was
Phil Neville
, the current manager of the Miami team, Beckham's old teammate at
Manchester United
.
The former defender
almost fell to the ground and also screamed at the opportunity that Pipita could not realize.
Then he made them celebrate
A few minutes before, Higuaín had already paid with an exquisite assist to
Robbie Robinson that meant the tie when he averaged the second half
.
And beyond the feeling that after that play everything was going to be brown, the former Juventus and Real Madrid quickly left that moment behind and
put together a good part of the third goal that gave their team the victory on the hour.

Just five minutes after that failure,
Pipita fell back, left the area to his teammates and asked for the ball.
He got a defender off his back and assisted a striker,
who barely had to touch for Rodolfo Pizarro, the Mexican, to define and put the final 3-2.
Higuaín had a lot to do with it.

In addition to Pipita, Leandro González Pirez and Jorge Figal were the starters.
And in the second half, Julián Carranza and the scorer Pizarro entered.
Beyond the triumph,
Inter Miami's
campaign
is not good: it is 12th in the Eastern Conference and is eight points behind Montreal, the 7th and last that would be entering the MLS playoffs.
With luxury visit
Claudio Paul Caniggia was present at the stadium to enjoy some good football
while walking through the city.
Before the game, Beckham, went to the place where Cani was, who was dressed in his usual look: black T-shirt, jeans and the inevitable sunglasses.
They both exchanged a few words and hugged each other.
Beckham's gift for Cani.
"The legend was in the house tonight. Thanks for coming,"
Beckham wrote in a story posted on his Instagram account.

For its part, the Bird also showed the meeting on its networks.
"Thank you, my friend," returned the Argentine, who tied a T-shirt on top.
