Lionel Messi did not score or assist but his teammates stepped up to deliver a win for the high-flying MLS side.
Inter Miami's secondary acts gave their all to help seal a 3-2 comeback victory over CF Montreal on Saturday night at Stade Saputo in Montreal, Quebec.
Matias Rojas scored an incredible free-kick goal and Luis Suarez poked home a corner kick to tie the game late in the first half.
