Messi, Suárez contribute in first win
Lionel Messi will play his first full season in MLS this year, and his team is off to a hot start in 2024.
Inter Miami took on Real Salt Lake in the first game of the American soccer league’s season on Wednesday night and came away with a 2-0 victory at home. It was Salt Lake’s first loss in an MLS opening game since 2009, breaking a 14-year streak of securing at least one point in the standings in season openers.
Finnish midfielder Robert Taylor scored the first goal in the 39th minute, and Paraguayan midfielder Diego Gómez put the game away with another in the 83rd. Messi recorded an assist on the first goal, and Luis Suárez, making his MLS debut in the game after joining the club in December, assisted the second.
After falling nine points short of a wild-card spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs last year, Miami is off to a strong start with 33 games left in the regular season. Here’s what to know about their 2024 schedule.
