Photos: Real Salt Lake's unbeaten run snapped by 2-0 loss to Messi, Inter Miami
Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suarez each scored a late second-half goal less than two minutes apart to lift Miami to a 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake
The G.O.A.T settled down on Utah soil, and Inter Miami did something it hasn’t done in over a month.
Led by eight-time Ballon’ d’Or winner Lionel Messi, Miami held off Real Salt Lake and scored two goals less than three minutes apart in the second half to snap the host’s six-match unbeaten run with a 2-0 win in front of 21,512 fans at America First Field in Sandy.
Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suarez each scored for Miami (5-1-3, 18 points), the reigning MLS Cup champions that collected its first shutout since a 0-0 draw March 14 with Charlotte FC.
Photographer Derick Fox was at the match for Salt City Soccer. Here’s a look at his view of the historic contest that drew the fourth-largest crowd in RSL history.
