Suárez and Busquets Named to MLS Team of the Matchday

September 3, 2024 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Inter Miami CF News Release


Inter Miami CF duo Luis Suárez and Sergio Busquets have been named to the MLS Team of the Matchday presented by Audi for week 30 of the 2024 regular season. The pair earned this honor following a dominant performance on Saturday night in which Inter Miami defeated Chicago Fire 1-4 at Soldier Field, playing the team's first match after clinching a spot in the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs.

Suárez, who earned the Royal Caribbean Icon of the Match award after winning the MLS Player of the Matchday last week, features in the starting XI and registers his fifth TOTM selection this regular season after bagging a historic brace to help Inter Miami secure the win against Chicago. The Uruguayan tied Gonzalo Higuain's record - set in 2022 - for the most goals in a single MLS regular season for Inter Miami. Suárez now has 16 goals in MLS, placing him in third position on the scoring table.

Busquets is also part of the starting XI in what is his fourth TOTM selection this season. Marking yet another solid performance as a center back, the Spaniard showcased his leadership and dedication to the team. Even playing in the center of the defense, Busquets made a key pass to Jordi Alba who crossed it in for Suárez's second goal of the night. He was defensively dominant, winning eight out of nine duels, recovering three balls, and also contributed to the team's playmaking and control, having 86 touches.
