Lionel Messi
stayed at his home in Fort Lauderdale to heal from his right thigh strain, but this time
Inter Miami
did not miss him.
Gerardo Martino
's team went strong in Washington and beat
DC United
3-1
in a new MLS matchday.
The local team had taken the lead through
Jared Stroud
(PT 14m), but Ecuadorian
Leo Campana
(PT 24m) immediately tied the story for Las Garzas.
And the best was missing: already in the second half
Luis Suárez
put on the superhero suit after having started as a substitute and scored a double (ST 27m and 40m) to round off a great comeback.
Turn.
Finish.
1-0.
Take a bow, Jared Stroud!

Miami has their answer!
Campana ties it up moments after being denied from close-range.
We've got a good one in DC.

The bad news for Inter Miami: the injury of Nicolás Freire, who had to be replaced after half an hour of play.
Also starting as starters were his compatriots Tomás Avilés - he was reprimanded - and Federico Redondo, with great display.
