Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez both scored in the friendly match lost by Inter Miami against Al-Hilal (4-3) on Monday evening in Riyadh.
Like the good old times. Teammates for many years at FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez are reunited this season, at Inter Miami. And the Uruguayan wasted no time in finding his bearings alongside his Argentine friend. During a friendly match against Al-Hilal, played Monday evening in Riyadh, “El Pistolero” and “La Pulga” shook the nets.
Suarez unlocks his counter
If the start of the match was particularly complicated for the Florida team, Aleksandar Mitrovic (1-0, 10e) and Abdullah Al-Hamddan (2-0, 13e) having scored very early for the Saudi team, Luis Suarez quickly allowed his team to come back to the score (2-1, 34e). The very first goal of the former Barça goalkeeper in his new colors.
Messi doubly decisive
Before the break, Al-Hilal regained a two-goal lead thanks to Michael Delgado (3-1, 44e), but Lionel Messi in turn came into action, first by reducing the gap from a penalty (3-2, 54e), then serving David Ruiz magnificently for the equalizer (3-3, 56e). An insufficient effort for Inter Miami, who finally lost with a final goal from Malcom (4-3, 88e).
