Lionel Messi exits with apparent injury; Inter Miami bests Union
Luis Suarez recorded a hat trick and German Berterame scored a brace to lead host Inter Miami to a wild and record-setting 6-4 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Sunday night. Suarez’s third goal in the 81st minute proved to be the game-winner for Inter Miami (9-2-4, 31 points), which won its fourth consecutive match heading into the two-month FIFA World Cup break. Rodrigo De Paul — on his 32nd birthday — added Miami’s sixth goal off an assist from Mateo Silvetti in the third minute of second-half stoppage time. The Union (1-10-4, 7 points) are winless in their past eight matches (0-4-4) and lost for the third time in their past four. Tempering Miami’s excitement over the victory was a potential concern for superstar Lionel Messi, who exited the game in the 73rd minute.
