FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. AP - Luis Suarez scored and had two assists, and Inter Miami beat Pumas 3-1 on Wednesday night to advance in the Leagues Cup.
Miami played the match without Lionel Messi, who is sidelined indefinitely with what the team described as a minor muscle injury in his right leg.
Messi was hurt in the opening minutes of Inter Miami's win over Necaxa on Saturday. He was in attendance for Wednesday's match and watched from a suite at Chase Stadium.
Miami, which has eight points in the Major League Soccer Leagues Cup standings, is the first MLS club through to the tournament's knockout stages.
Rodrigo De Paul scored his first Inter Miami goal on an assist from Suarez in the 45th, tying the match after Pumas' Jorge Ruvalcaba opened scoring in the 34th.
