**Fort Lauderdale, FL** – Inter Miami CF snapped a three-game losing streak with a convincing 4-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls at DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday. Lionel Messi, ending a near month-long goal drought, scored the final goal, his ninth of the season, solidifying the win.
The victory was crucial for Miami, following their exit from the Concacaf Champions Cup and a recent MLS loss. Fabrice Picault opened the scoring in the ninth minute, followed by goals from Marcelo Weigandt and Luis Suárez, who ended a personal nine-game scoreless run. While Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting pulled one back for the Red Bulls before halftime, Messi’s second-half strike sealed the win.
Coach Javier Mascherano acknowledged the team’s recent frustrations but emphasized the importance of learning from setbacks and focusing on their MLS campaign. He highlighted the significance of Suárez’s goal for the striker’s confidence.
The win moves Miami into fourth place in the Eastern Conference, setting them up for their next match against Minnesota United. The Red Bulls, meanwhile, remain winless on the road this season.
