Messi, Suarez Lead Inter Miami Past Montreal 4-2

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez each scored twice and provided an assist as Inter Miami defeated CF Montreal 4-2, ending a four-match winless streak in MLS and securing only their second win in their last nine games across all competitions. Messi scored in the 27th and 87th minutes, while Suarez's brace came after being set up by Messi. Montreal's goals came from Dante Sealy and Victor Loturi, but Miami maintained control despite a late surge. The win lifts Inter Miami to sixth place in the Eastern Conference, providing momentum ahead of their Club World Cup campaign. However, injuries to key defenders Jordi Alba, Tomas Aviles, and Gonzalo Lujan have raised concerns for coach Javier Mascherano. Messi's standout season continues, amassing 13 goals and four assists in 19 appearances.
