Inter Miami CF returned to winning ways in emphatically stylish fashion on Saturday night (October 10, 2026), dismantling D.C. United 4-0 at home in Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season action.
The performance was headlined by star forward line partners Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, who both netted double braces to power the Herons to victory. Playing his first club match since announcing his retirement from the Argentine national team four days prior, Messi logged the full 90 minutes and pushed his league-leading goal tally to 23 for the 2026 MLS campaign.
Suárez opened the scoring early in the 3rd minute before securing his brace in the 39th minute by turning in a rebound after D.C. goalkeeper Sean Johnson deflected a point-blank strike from Messi. Messi then took center stage in the second half, tapping in a precise setup from Suárez in the 47th minute and completing his own brace in the 60th minute following a brilliant solo run off a pass from Rodrigo De Paul. The resounding shutout snapped a five-match winless skid for Miami and handed new head coach Cristian "Kily" González his first MLS league victory since taking charge on September 16. With the win, Inter Miami holds 49 points in second place in the Eastern Conference standings.
