In terms of performance, the Montreal Club is not playing well after 10 rounds in the American Professional League (MLS). The home team only won 3 matches, drew 3 matches and lost 4 matches. Ranking 10th and only having 12 points in hand makes their fans disappointed. Therefore, the home team is determined to win 3 points to finish in the top 9, and beyond that, the top 7 to continue participating in phase 2 of MLS.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami is flying high in this year’s tournament with the top position. The team headed by David Beckham showed a completely different playing style compared to last season. Messi is still the leader, plus the appearance of Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Suarez makes Inter Miamia too superior. In the away trip to the Montreal Club stadium, these players continued to be ranked as the main team by coach Gerardo Martino.
Although rated better, Inter Miami suddenly performed poorly compared to the Montreal club. The home team defended tenaciously and controlled 55% of the ball throughout the match. Montreal Club also launched 16 shots (6 times on target), double what Messi and his teammates created in this match.
Not only defending tenaciously, the home team at Saputo Stadium also surprised the fans with a 2-goal lead in the first half. In the 22nd minute, from a counterattack on the left wing, Anthony Vilsaint had a perfect pass for Bryce Duke to finish the second goal. Goalkeeper Callender scored a goal. Exactly 10 minutes later, Vilsaint shined again when he received the ball in the penalty area and beat goalkeeper Callender with a curling shot into the far corner of the goal.
But in difficult times, the class of stars spoke up at the right time. Before the first half ended, Messi made many plays that made the Montreal club’s defense “sweat”. Because they were always following the Argentine superstar, the Montreal Club gave Matias Rojas space, shortening the score to 1-2 in the 44th minute.
If Messi shines with a succession of disruptive situations, another star, Suarez, is not to be outdone. In the last minute of injury time of the first half, the Uruguayan player seized the opportunity extremely quickly and accurately finished the match to bring the match back to the starting line. Notably, this was Suarez’s first shot in the match against Montreal Club.
The sublime performances of Messi and Suarez did not stop as the duo had many opportunities in the second half. Unfortunately, the goalkeeper of the Montreal Club played too well and blocked Inter’s consecutive opportunities. Miami. However, Inter Miami’s efforts were rewarded in the 59th minute when Cremaschi broke the offside trap and leaned forward to shoot the ball, sealing a 3-2 comeback for the away team.
Winning the match 3-2, Inter Miami continues to lead with 27 points after 13 rounds. More worth mentioning, this was the 5th consecutive match Messi and his teammates won. The team coached by Gerardo Martino plays better and better and the ticket to phase 2 of MLS is almost firmly in the hands of Inter Miami.
