In a dramatic encounter against Cincinnati FC, former Barcelona star Luis Suarez made history by scoring the fastest goal ever for Inter Miami.
At 37 years old, Suarez demonstrated his enduring brilliance by finding the net just 24 seconds into the match.
After receiving a cross into the heart of the box, he controlled the ball with his chest and unleashed a powerful shot that beat the Cincinnati goalkeeper.
Suarez’s swift goal set an energetic tone for the game, leading Inter Miami to a vital victory.
His performance included a second goal, which proved instrumental in securing the win and propelling Miami into the MLS playoffs. The victory was significant, as it extended their lead over Cincinnati to eight points in the Eastern Conference standings.
Reflecting on the achievement, Suarez remarked, “It’s always special to contribute to the team’s success, and to do it with the fastest goal in club history makes it even more memorable. The entire squad put in a tremendous effort today, and I’m proud to be a part of this team.”
The win also served as a redemption, coming after a heavy 6-1 defeat to Cincinnati earlier in the season, a match in which Suarez and other key players were missing.
With Lionel Messi sidelined due to an ankle injury, Suarez stepped up remarkably. His exceptional performance not only highlighted his skill but also his invaluable experience, underscoring his continuing impact on the team.
