Inter Miami CF Blows Out D.C. United

     Inter Miami CF ended their five-game winless as they handled D.C. United 4-0 at Nu Stadium on Saturday night. It was the first game for the Herons since September 27. They had tied in their three previous Major League Soccer home games and came into this MLS contest with a 0-4-1 mark. 

     In the first half, Inter Miami CF(13-5-10) struck three minutes into the contest for a 1-0 lead. Luis Suarez half-volleyed a left-foot shot from eight yards away into the left side of the cage. 

     The Herons extended their lead to 2-0 in the 39th minute. Suarez chalked up his second tally of the contest as he tapped in a volley shot with his left foot from three yards. 

     D.C. United(6-9-12) felt like they were hit by an avalanche in the second half. Suarez centered the ball from the left side and Lionel Messi volleyed in a six-yard shot with his left foot during the 47th minute. 

     It became 4-0 for Inter Miami CF in the 60th minute of play. Messi dribbled through the defense in the middle of the field and placed in a left-footed shot from 11 yards out into the low right corner of the net for his second goal of the game.
