VIDEO: El Pistolero Luis Suarez at his best! Inter Miami superstar scores sensational brace in beatdown of Orlando City

The Uruguayan striker had fans on their feet not once but twice inside the opening 12 minutes at Chase Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Inter Miami superstar fired a drilled effort into the back of the net just after the four-minute mark and followed it up with another just 11 minutes into the match to give the Herons an early 2-0 lead.

He didn't stop there, though. 29 minutes into the match, on a hat-trick and 1-v-1 with the goalkeeper, he unselfishly laid the ball off to Robert Taylor for an easy tap-in to make it 3-0. In the second half, he teed up Lionel Messi for one of the Argentine's two goals, capping a 5-0 win with four goal contributions.

USMNT midfielder Julian Gressel found Suarez inside the box for the opening goal, with the 30-year-old American laying off the ball in brilliant fashion. Just seven minutes later, though, is when the magic really happened.

Looking like he was still playing for FC Barcelona in 2014, El Pistolero Suarez beat not one, but two defenders. He lifted the ball off the grass, popped it in the air and fired home with a low-driven effort to beat Orlando goalkeeper Pedro Gallese.

The performance helps put to bed some of the concerns about Suarez, who had struggled a bit to start the season. There was no struggling on Saturday as the Uruguayan star absolutely destroyed Orlando City.

With this 5-0 win now in their back pockets, the Herons will make their debut in the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup on Thursday against Nashville SC. Inter Miami will look to earn a result on the road in leg one of their tie.
