Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Messi scored a goal in the 52nd minute and Suárez's header helped Inter Miami storm back to finish a 2-2 draw against Nashville SC during the first leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup match on Thursday night at GEODIS Park in Nashville, Tenn. However, this is not entirely accurate as Messi scored his goal in the second half and Suárez's header was only a part of Inter Miami's comeback effort.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Inter Miami has a lot of star power and that they have been successful in the past. This is not evidence for their success in this specific match or tournament. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma when he states that either Nashville's offside call spoiled their 3-1 lead or Suárez's header helped Inter Miami storm back to finish a 2-2 draw. This is not an accurate representation of events and ignores other factors that may have contributed to the outcome of the match. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Lionel Messi finished the game despite injury, which could be seen as exaggeration or sensationalism.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Suarez tied the game by scoring a header off a cross from Busquets but fails to mention that he was offside when he scored. This omission implies that his goal was legitimate and not against the rules of soccer. Secondly, Messi's first Concacaf goal is described as being in regulation time, which is incorrect since it occurred after half-time. Lastly, the article mentions that Nashville believed they had a 3-1 lead when Moore scored but fails to mention that his goal was waived off for being offside.
Suarez's header in the fifth minute of stoppage time was not on target and he was clearly offside. The article omits this detail, making it seem like Suarez tied the game with a legitimate goal.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that the Concacaf Champions Cup is a significant tournament for Inter Miami when in reality it's not as important as other competitions such as the UEFA Champions League or Copa America. Secondly, the article exaggerates Messi and Suarez's contributions to Inter Miami's draw against Nashville by stating that they lifted them out of a giant hole. In fact, their goals were crucial but did not lift Inter Miami out of a 2-0 deficit as suggested in the article.
The Concacaf Champions Cup is far from the most glamorous soccer competition. But for Lionel Messi, in his first full year at Inter Miami, it's probably the most significant.
