Luis Suárez secured a 2–1 victory for Inter Miami over the Chicago Fire with a brace on his return to Major League Soccer action, while Manchester United midfielder Casemiro watched from a private suite and newcomer Robert Lewandowski failed to score for Chicago.
Inter Miami capitalized on clinical finishing from Suárez, whose two goals anchored the squad against a Chicago Fire side featuring its newly arrived international talent.
Watching from an executive box, Manchester United and Brazil midfielder Casemiro observed the MLS encounter firsthand.
For Chicago, the match served as the debut stage for Robert Lewandowski. Despite persistent movement and several build-up sequences orchestrated in the final third, Lewandowski failed to find the back of the net, finishing the night without a goal.
The encounter also featured defensive miscues typical of early-season rust. As noted by LANCE!, the home side briefly stumbled with a bizarre own goal that kept Chicago competitive deep into the second half before Suárez restored a two-goal cushion and sealed the three points.
