In their 2nd pre-season game, Messi and Suarez struggle for Inter Miami against FC Dallas.

For the second consecutive preseason game, FC Dallas defeated the Herons 1-0, keeping Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Inter Miami scoreless.

Even while everyone was focused on the superstars of Inter Miami but FC Dallas' striker set the tone right away in front of his home fans.

Ferreira scored the first goal of the game three minutes into the contest.

The USMNT striker finished calmly to begin his preseason with a cheeky goal against Messi and company.

From that moment on, Inter Miami dominated the play, and Ferreira's finish proved to be the only goal of the match.

Despite having the majority of the ball, Tata Martinos' team fell short of scoring opportunities.

In the second half, Miami had a couple of opportunities; Leo Campana and Luis Suarez both came close.

The three former Barcelona players, Messi, Suarez, and Sergio Busquets, played 45 minutes in Friday's 0-0 tie with El Salvador before being substituted after 64 minutes against Dallas.

Through these first two games, Suarez hasn't exactly looked like himself, and he's found it difficult to settle into a rhythm and create opportunities.

Now, Inter Miami's global preseason tour will head to Saudi Arabia as they prepare for matches against Al-Hilal and, of course, Al-Nassr, the team led by Cristiano Ronaldo.
