2-2! Miami's 6-match winning streak ends, Suarez with a goal and assist, Casemiro scores an own goal, Messi comes off the bench

In a Major League Soccer match that concluded on August 2, Beijing time, Inter Miami hosted Columbus Crew and twice took the lead only to be pegged back, eventually drawing 2-2, ending their six-game winning run.

Within the first 16 minutes, 39-year-old Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez spotted the opposing goalkeeper off his line and chipped home from 40 meters to give Miami the lead.

Suarez has now scored in four consecutive games, netting seven goals in his last four appearances, showing excellent form.

In the 34th minute, Casemiro made an error in his own half, and while tracking back, accidentally turned the ball into his own net, allowing Columbus to equalize.

In the fifth minute of first-half stoppage time, Suarez delivered a cross for an assist, and Noah Allen headed home at the far post. The referee initially ruled Suarez offside, but after reviewing the VAR, confirmed the goal, putting Miami ahead again.

After the break, in the 53rd minute, 39-year-old Argentine legend Lionel Messi came off the bench, making his first appearance for Inter Miami in over two months.

Just four minutes after coming on, Messi received a lobbed pass from Suarez at the back post and attempted a shot, but the ball went just wide of the goal.

In the 66th minute, Inter Miami escaped when Bangura's shot struck the crossbar and bounced away.

In the 84th minute, Mendez scored directly from a free kick on the right side of the field, bringing Columbus level again.

Ultimately, Inter Miami had to settle for a draw, ending their six-match winning streak. After 18 matches, Miami has 11 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses, accumulating 38 points.

Next, Inter Miami will turn their attention to the Leagues Cup, facing their first opponent, Club Atlético San Luis, on August 6 at 7:30 PM.
