Inter Miami secured its spot in the playoffs of the main soccer league in the United States (Major League Soccer, MLS) on Saturday, after comfortably defeating Cincinnati 2-0, thanks to a brace from Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez, the Most Valuable Player of the match.

Awaiting the return from an injury of their main star, Argentine Lionel Messi, Coach Gerardo Martino's team successfully managed matchday 28 to stay at the top of the Eastern Conference, with a total of 56 points, after 17 wins, five draws, and four losses.

In the important match, Suárez, former player of Barcelona and Liverpool, among other teams, scored in the first and sixth minutes to embellish a scoreboard that remained unchanged. And, of course, he celebrated the goals and the qualification on social media.

Likewise, "El Pistolero," one of the deadliest forwards of all time, reached 18 goals in the current league and surpassed the record set by Gonzalo Higuaín (16) as the club's top scorer in a season.

The next match for the Florida team will be next Saturday, the 31st, against Chicago Fire as visitors, and Messi's presence is not expected either.

Then there will be two weeks of break due to the FIFA date. This means more recovery rest for "La Pulga," as he was not called up by Lionel Scaloni for the matches against Chile and Colombia as part of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
