  WHAT HAPPENED?

  In the final moments of Thursday's CONCACAF Champions Cup opener, Inter Miami found themselves down 2-1. Lionel Messi had brought them back within a goal thanks to a Suarez assist but, five minutes into stoppage time, Suarez made his mark with a goal of his own.

  For that goal, Suarez combined with another former Barca teammate, Sergio Busquets. The midfielder's perfectly-placed cross fell right onto Suarez's head as he fired home a crucial away goal to level the score at 2-2.

  The goal was a massive one for Miami, who will now have the advantage heading back to South Beach. Thanks to the away goal rule, the 2-2 draw means Miami hold the lead ahead of next week's second leg, forcing Nashville to come out and attack away from home against a team that has Messi and Suarez ready to lead the line.
