Miami secure place in MLS play-offs

Luis Suarez struck twice as ten-man Inter Miami became the first team to book their place in this season’s Major League Soccer (MLS) play-offs after beating Cincinnati 2-0 at Chase Stadium in Florida on Saturday. Uruguayan veteran Suarez scored just 32 seconds into the game and added a second five minutes later as Miami, without injured superstar Lionel Messi, secured their place in the post-season. Miami are eight points clear of second-placed Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference. Messi has not played since he suffered an ankle injury in Argentina’s win over Colombia in the final of Copa America on July 14.
