Uruguayan Luis Suarez led Inter Miami's great comeback to advance to the next phase of the Leagues Cup by eliminating Pumas de la UNAM with a 3-1 victory, in a night of terror for the Liga MX teams against those of the MLS with the thrashings of Orlando City 5-1 over Necaxa and Atlanta United 4-1 over Atlas.

If at any time Pumas and Necaxa thought about a possibility of fighting for a ticket to the next phase, reality exploded in their faces in a very ugly way with the stumble against Las Garzas and the thrashing against Orlando City, respectively.

The serious thing about the stumbles of the Liga MX teams is that they hide behind very hollow excuses, especially Pumas, where it was said that they applauded that Lionel Messi did not play, because today an older team that is supposed to have less physical stamina made it clear bad for the felines.

While with Atlanta United they only completed the formalities against an Atlas that was without feet or head and that was one of the eight teams in Mexican soccer that have not added or added any victory in this tournament held between Mexican and American teams.

In this way, everything indicates that the teams that will advance to the next phase of the Leagues Cup representing Liga MX will be Toluca, Pachuca, Tigres and Puebla.

Inter Miami with Luis Suarez reached a ticket

After Pumas had dominated the actions in the first half and that allowed them to take the lead 0-1 in the 34th minute, in the second half, Luis Suarez took the baton of Inter Miami and with the support of the Argentine Rodrigo de Paul, they sought to make people forget about Messi and fight for victory.

Precisely the reaction of the Garzas began before going to the break with the equalizer scored by the Argentine Rodrigo de Paul, recently unpacked from Atletico Madrid to achieve the tie in a goal that in the rest of the actions would be very important in the final result.

Precisely in the second half Inter Miami started the game very intense and in the 47th minute Luis Suarez nestled the ball in the feline goal, but it was annulled for offside marked by the VAR, but eight minutes later the Uruguayan would not forgive when charging a penalty in the 55th minute with great class and experience that made the Pumas goalkeeper's throw impossible by putting the ball in with a good touch with great class to make it 2-1.

The icing on the cake for Inter Miami came in the 69th minute when Tadeo Allende in a pass to the gap from Luis Suarez to beat with a soft shot over the exit of goalkeeper Miguel Angel Paul Hernández, who had a good night and responded to the absence of Costa Rican Keylor Navas.

Orlando City and Atlanta United, unstoppable

For its part, Orlando City reaffirmed the great Wednesday afternoon for the Major League Soccer (MLS) teams to thrash Necaxa 5-1 and thus put themselves on the path to the next phase of the Leagues Cup where the scorers of the five goals were the work of Colombian Luis Muriel who dispatched with a hat trick, while his teammate the Argentine Luis Ojeda completed the afternoon with two goals.

While Necaxa's goal was scored by Alexis Peña, in a nightmare afternoon for the Mexican team, which had aspirations of reaching the final phase, but in the end it did not count with such a scandalous score.

Atlas left without pain or glory

Finally, Atlas concluded a disappointing performance in the Leagues Cup with three defeats, but the serious thing was the way in which Atlanta United mistreated them with a 4-1 with goals scored by Senegalese Jamal Thaire from a penalty.

Also present were the Russian Aleksei Miranchuk, the Georgian Saba Lobzhanidze and the Japanese Cayman Togashi, while for the red-and-black team Diego González appeared in the 83rd minute, to end this match to forget.
