Luis Suarez celebrated his 100th appearance for Inter Miami in style, scoring two goals in a 3-2 victory over Chicago Fire. The match was played without Lionel Messi, who is currently resting following the World Cup final.

The encounter was highly anticipated due to the debut of Robert Lewandowski for Chicago Fire. The Polish striker, who joined the club this summer after his Barcelona contract expired, struggled to make an impact and was substituted after an hour of play.

Lewandowski appeared to find the chaotic tempo of Major League Soccer difficult, visibly showing frustration with his teammates and gesturing for more composure and short passing. The striker now looks ahead to his next challenge as Chicago travels to face New York City FC next Saturday.

The win keeps Inter Miami in second place in the Eastern Conference with 34 points, while Chicago Fire remains in third with 26. Preston Blampek scored the decisive goal in the 85th minute to secure the points for Miami.
