Inter Miami suffered their first defeat of the season, falling 1-0 to LAFC in Los Angeles in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals, ending their nine-game unbeaten streak. Luis Suárez was visibly upset after the loss, repeating a particular phrase as he left the field.

Lucho was captured by the press leaving very heated through the tunnel alongside his teammate and friend Lionel Messi. At that moment, he raised his arms in protest and blurted out: “It’s always the same, it’s always the same.” All this happened prior to being called, apparently, to perform the anti-doping control. What bothered the Uruguayan?

The fall of the “Garzas” (Herons) had a great controversy, which could have been the cause of the “Pistolero’s” (Gunman’s) anger. At 25′ of the first half, Nathan Ordaz, a young attacker from Los Angeles, starred in a particular crossing with Maximiliano Falcón. What happened? The American who represents El Salvador punched “Peluca” (Wig) and, after VAR review, was finally cautioned despite all the rivals asking for his expulsion.

“That’s a red card in China. That’s a red card on the Moon,” said Javier Mascherano about the play, in a press conference. As if that were not enough, Ordaz was the author of the only goal of the evening minutes later.

When will Inter Miami and Lionel Messi play again?

Javier Mascherano’s team will return to action next Sunday, April 6, at 7:00 PM ET in the United States, when they host Toronto FC at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a new day of the MLS.

Inter is the absolute leader of the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer. After their 2-1 victory against Philadelphia Union, they were leaders with 13 points harvested thanks to four victories and one draw. In addition to not having defeats in the tournament, they have one game less than the rest of the teams.
