Luis Suarez scored his first goal of the season to earn Inter Miami a draw against Austin FC as the MLS champions officially opened their new stadium.<\/p>\n

Former Uruguay forward Suarez, 39, struck in the 81st minute to salvage a point for the hosts at the 26,700-seat Nu Stadium.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi, 38, had earlier cancelled out Austin’s opener with his fifth goal in five MLS appearances this campaign.<\/p>\n

The Herons, who had been playing at their temporary home of Chase Stadium in nearby Fort Lauderdale, are fourth in the table after six games. <\/p>\n

Austin’s Guiherme Biro was the first goalscorer at Miami’s new ground with his sixth-minute opener, while Jayden Nelson temporarily restored the visitors’ advantage early in the second half.<\/p>\n

Argentina captain Messi, who will have a stand named after him<\/a> at his club’s new stadium, headed in Ian Fray’s cross as Miami responded quickly to falling behind.<\/p>\n

Eight minutes after entering the pitch, substitute Suarez volleyed in from close range following a corner to earn his side a point.<\/p>\n

Inter Miami, co-owned by former England captain David Beckham, won the MLS Cup – the championship game of the American top-flight – for the first time last season.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luis Suarez scored his first goal of the season to earn Inter Miami a draw against Austin FC…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":{"0":"post-219353","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-miami","9":"tag-miami-headlines","10":"tag-miami-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
