Victor Wanyama’s CF Montreal future in doubt as Sporting Director quits after fallout with club owner
Victor Wanyama could be playing his last season at CF Montreal following the departure of the Sporting Director who was instrumental to his arrival and stay at the MLS club.
This happened after Messi had sent fears in his camp when he went down for a couple of minutes following a tough challenge and needed medical attention before continuing to play. As he waited to resume, his side had already gone two goals down and needed some inspiration from him.
However, it was new signing Matias Rojas who showed Messi qualities when he hammered home a freekick on his left foot that will leave the Argentina legend proud, bringing the scores to 2-1 in the 44th minute.
The scores were level four minutes later when Suarez scored from a corner before Benjamin Cremaschi completed the comeback for Inter Miami in the 59th minute.
