Inter Miami Beats CF Montreal 4-2 in Exciting Match

Inter Miami CF pulled off an exciting 4-2 win against CF Montreal at Chase Stadium on May 28, 2025, ending a tough four-game stretch without a victory in Major League Soccer. Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez stole the show, each scoring two goals to power the Herons to a crucial victory, though the team’s defense showed some cracks.

Key Highlights:

• Messi and Suárez each netted two goals to snap Inter Miami’s four-game winless streak with a thrilling 4-2 win over CF Montreal
• Despite defensive injuries and lapses, Miami's star duo delivered, pushing the Herons to sixth place in the Eastern Conference
• Montreal fought back twice, but Oscar Ustari’s key saves and Messi’s magic sealed a much-needed victory at Chase Stadium

The game got off to a rough start for Miami, with three defenders getting injured in the first half. Gonzalo Lujan had to leave early, and Tomas Aviles stepped in. Even with early shots from Messi and Suárez, Miami struggled to get past Montreal’s young defense. The Herons’ backline also looked shaky, a problem that’s been ongoing since they haven’t kept a clean sheet all season.

Things turned around after halftime when goalkeeper Oscar Ustari made two huge saves to keep Montreal from tying the game. Soon after, Messi set up Suárez for Miami’s second goal, and Suárez added another to make it look like the game was in the bag. But Montreal’s Dante Sealy answered back quickly, exposing Miami’s defensive issues. Messi then scored his second goal to give Miami some breathing room, only for Victor Loturi to pull Montreal closer again, keeping fans on edge until the end.

Messi was phenomenal, playing the full 90 minutes, scoring twice, assisting once, and completing 82% of his passes while setting up three key plays. Suárez was just as impressive, matching Messi’s two goals and proving why they’re Miami’s biggest stars. Still, letting in two goals against the last-placed team in the Eastern Conference shows Miami’s defense needs work.
