Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez They opened their preseason scoring account but Inter Miami fell to Al Hilal at the start of their tour of Saudi Arabia.
Suárez scored into an empty net (34) and Messi from a penalty (54) to try to turn around a game that Miami lost 2 to 0 from the 13th minute (goals from Mitrovíc and Hal-Amdan).
The 3-3 tie came a minute after Uruguay's goal thanks to Honduran David Ruiz who was assisted by the Rosario player.
However, in '88 the former Brazilian Barcelona player, Malcom, sealed the Saudi victory.
Al Hilal, leader of the Saudi League, was without Neymar, Messi and Suárez's former trident teammate in Barcelona, who is recovering from a long-term injury.
Inter Miami will face Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr on Thursday, whose presence in the green is not assured.
The other ex-Azulgranas, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, also saw action in the match that represents the third preseason defeat for those led by Tata Martino.
