Goals from Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi helped propel Inter Miami into the quarter-finals of the Concacaf Champions Cup with a 2-0 win over Cavalier FC in Jamaica.
Messi came off the bench late and found the net in added time to put the finishing touch on Inter Miami’s 4-0 aggregate victory in the round-of-16 tie.
It was the Argentinian’s first appearance in three games due to load management, with the coaching staff hoping to avoid a future injury for the 37-year-old.

Inter Miami will face fellow MLS side LAFC in the next round.
