Noah Eile scores 1st MLS goal, Coronel has 5 saves to help Red Bulls beat Montreal 1–0
Eile, a 6-foot-5 22-year-old defender, went up high for a header off a corner kick played in by Omar Valencia that slipped inside the back post to give the Red Bulls (4–3–3) a 1–0 lead.
Montreal (0–7–3) has scored four goals this season, the fewest in MLS, and has been shut out seven times — including each of the last three games. The club's minus-10 goal differential is tied for worst in the league with the only other remaining winless team, and the defending MLS Cup champions, the LA Galaxy.
Owen Graham-Roache made his MLS debut when he replaced Prince Owusu to begin the second half for Montreal. The 17-year-old homegrown finished with one shot on target.
The Red Bulls, who had 58.5 percent possession but didn't record a shot on goal in the first half, immediately applied pressure in the second half, putting five shots on net — four in the first five minutes — before Eile opened the scoring.
Sébastian Breza had five saves for Montreal.

New style, new faces, emerging leaders: No. 11 Indiana men's soccer 'has a lot of confidence'
BLOOMINGTON — Todd Yeagley's Indiana men's soccer team begins its regular season in blue-blood fashion Thursday night, when the No. 11 Hoosiers host No. 9 Clemson. The reigning Big Ten champions — picked this week to win the league again — will debut healthy roster turnover against last season's ACC runner-up. Familiar faces like JT Harms, Tommy Mihalic, Patrick McDonald and Sam Sarver have moved on, with IU rethinking its approach according to personnel changes in several key areas. Still, between familiar faces, veteran transfers and a fresh crop of promising freshmen, Yeagley and his staff are confident they possess the tools for another long postseason stay this fall. As the Hoosiers prepare for their opener, we examine pressing questions at each level of Yeagley's team, back to front: Harms' 62 starts in 63 appearances gave Yeagley rock-solid consistency between the sticks for three seasons. Now, he's playing professionally, and the Hoosiers will rethink the position in his absence. 'Top to bottom,' Yeagley told IndyStar, 'this might be the most well put-together group of goalkeepers (Yeagley has had at IU).' The frontrunners touch both ends of the experience spectrum. Holden Brown, a graduate student, and Judewellin Michel, a freshman, will compete for the No. 1 shirt this fall. Brown, a Zionsville native, transferred from Virginia last year but missed the 2024 season to a knee injury. Michel comes to IU from the CF Montreal academy, lending him MLS-level developmental experience. Unlike Harms — who measured 6 foot 1, on the short side for a goalkeeper — Brown and Michel each fit the positional stereotype, measuring at 6-4 and 6-5, respectively. 'You can't ask JT to stretch to 6-5,' Yeagley said. 'There'll be a moment in training where I'm like, 'Whoa, I haven't seen that save.'' But neither player can replicate Harms' experience, and neither is probably quite so adept at playing with the ball at his feet (and therefore stepping further away from goal to influence build-up play when Indiana is in possession). Which means whether the starting job falls to the old hand or the freshman, Indiana will probably ask and expect something different from its goalkeeper than it has in recent years. Brown and Michel split time as IU's No. 1 relatively evenly across a pair of comfortable preseason wins against Western Michigan and Louisville. Yeagley said he can envision either in goal for Clemson on Thursday. 'The team just has a lot of confidence, as they did with JT,' Yeagley said. 'You just feel like, both those guys with their length, can make a play on a ball they shouldn't have to get but they can.' From last year: How Indiana men's soccer maintains its culture of success in modern college sports Here, Yeagley enjoys both experience and stability. In central defense, sophomore Josh Maher carries on the family tradition in Bloomington having started all 20 matches he appeared in across 2024. He'll have Virginia transfer Victor Akoum (12 starts in 16 matches last season) alongside him, and veteran back Alex Barger on the left. Penn transfer Ben Do can play down the right, while Breckin Minzey can play either central or wide. 'Breckin Minzey had a phenomenal spring,' Yeagley said. Yeagley even mentioned 6-3 forward Nolan Kinsella as a potential fullback/wing back, with his underlying emphasis on lineup flexibility. Players like Barger (5-9) and Do (5-8) play like more traditional wide defenders, while Kinsella, Minzey (5-11) and Akoum hand Yeagley and his staff greater size. In moments when the Hoosiers need more height to attack corners, or protect a late lead, they can flip their defense knowing multiple players can manage inside and outside roles, while IU knows it still has capable hands when more traditional skills and ideas are needed. 'I like our flexibility within the roster build,' Yeagley said. 'We have a lot of moves we can make.' Insider: New 'heart and soul' of Indiana football offense? 7 things we learned from training camp last week IU's persistent roster theme strikes hardest in midfield, where Patrick McDonald gave the Hoosiers one more year after being drafted but is now with Toronto FC II in MLS Next Pro. But he still has returners there, including sophomore Charlie Heuer, and veteran campaigner Jack Wagoner, who's started 45 games and appeared in 63 across three seasons. 'With Patty gone,' Yeagley said, 'Charlie has been really, really good in stepping into an important role.' Indiana also reached for transfers will specific characteristics there, like Jacopo Fedrizzi (Evansville) and Cristiano Bruletti (Michigan State). 'Cristiano Bruletti, he didn't come off the field for two seasons for Michigan State,' Yeagley said. Fedrizzi also adds threat from set pieces for the Hoosiers, reflecting their shifting approach in attack. 'The final pass and ideas are really high-end for him,' Yeagley said. Insider: The good, the bad and the future: What Darian DeVries learned about IU in Puerto Rico That will be crucial for a team rethinking its approach to creating chances this fall. Sam Sarver, one of the most-decorated forwards in program history, now plays for FC Dallas. Tommy Mihalic, who added 15 goals plus assists across the last two seasons, plies his trade for LAFC2. Coupled to other expected attrition, Yeagley acknowledged IU lost 'a lot of attacking firepower' this offseason. 'If you look at some of our guys that will appear in our front group, there will be times there might be one returner on the field at a time,' he said. Which is why Yeagley and his staff were happy to rethink the entire attack, rather than plugging and playing with less-proven pieces. Sophomore Michael Nesci and junior Collins Oduro, who elected to return to IU after being drafted by Orlando City this winter, give Yeagley proven experience. Butler transfer Palmer Ault (33 goals plus assists in three seasons) will factor heavily into Indiana's plans up top. Easton Bogard and Clay Murador are back. And promising freshman forward Colton Swan gives the Hoosiers a dynamic presence in the No. 9 shirt. He was a prolific goal scorer in the Colorado Rapids Academy and won golden boot honors in the Under-16 MLS Cup. It was in part because of Swan's ability to score goals from set pieces and headers that Indiana pursued Fedrizzi. 'Colton Swan, his heading ability was really elite for his age,' Yeagley said. 'We knew service was really important, so we wanted to add that to our arsenal.' All that turnover led Yeagley to schedule a difficult preseason, one his team came through with flying colors. The Hoosiers defeated preseason-ranked Western Michigan 5-0 across four 30-minute periods, then dispatched Louisville — a consistent NCAA tournament team — 3-0 in 110 minutes. Those games handed Yeagley a long look at his team's best and worst, ahead of a season in which the Hoosiers will need to gel quickly. And he knows there won't be hiding places Thursday night either, with IU challenging itself early and often to get the best out of another promising team. 'These are the games you not only have to win in the Big Ten, but Louisville and Western Michigan are teams that are in the tournament, and way different styles, which is also intentional,' Yeagley said. 'That tested us in some ways the scoreline didn't show. We have a much better idea of where some of these guys are.'

Luis Suarez opens up about scoring struggles, playing with friends, his future
Luis Suarez has never been shy about sharing his feelings, on or off the field. The 38-year-old Uruguayan forward and Inter Miami star is known for his fiery personality, no matter how major or insignificant the game. He throws his body and soul into every play and argues with referees. He lets teammates know when he is dissatisfied with errant passes. That passion for the sport is a key reason Suarez is one of the most lethal strikers in history with 507 goals over 841 games during his career. He also is extremely self-critical, and nobody is more aware of his scoring struggles this season than him. Last season, he was an MLS Golden Boot finalist with 21 goals and nine assists in 30 games. This season, with 10 games to go, Suarez has six goals and 10 assists. Two of those came in the past three games, against the Los Angeles Galaxy and Pumas. Suarez's grimaces with every missed shot and was extremely forthcoming speaking with reporters on the eve of Wednesday's Leagues Cup quarterfinal between Inter Miami and Mexican club Tigres. 'Obviously, on a personal level, being a forward, one wants to be involved in goals and help the team as a goal scorer, and I know I can do more to support the team,' Suarez said. 'Sometimes these circumstances happen in football, where you have a bad stretch. But there are moments where I am helping the team, I am helping the club grow, and that gives me a sense of calm.' Suarez has been playing professionally for 20 years and learned to drown out the noise from critics dating back to his debut as an 18-year-old with Uruguayan club Nacional. He said he never lost confidence, even when he went scoreless for long stretches. 'First of all, you can't pay attention to what people say, especially at my age,' he said. 'Critics don't bother me. There are many players who let criticism bother them, and that's bad for you, your teammates and people around you. You have to surround yourself with people who transmit positivity and support.' He insisted he doesn't obsess over errant shots or missed scoring chances. 'In my debut with Nacional in 2005, the team missed 11 scoring chances and eight of those were mine,' he said. 'I was 18 years old. Imagine, if I let that get me down, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today. I never listen to the critics. And, I don't buy when people say marvelous things about me, either. 'I just work hard and always try to do the best I can.' He said his scoring drought this season was due partly to his slow start. 'What hurt my performance most this year was the start of the season, after such a long off-season vacation it took some time to get back into game shape,' Suarez said. 'As the games go one, the more you play, you get into a rhythm. I hear people say that when athletes play a lot of games, they have trouble recovering, but that has never been an issue with me. Of course, if there are several weeks in a row with three games a week, like we had during the Club World Cup, you can get exhausted. But for the most part, we love to play, and we can handle a game every three or four days.' Suarez added that he is enjoying life in South Florida with his former Barcelona teammates Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Javier Mascherano, and most recently Rodrigo De Paul, with whom he played at Atletico Madrid. He appreciates the more relaxed lifestyle and increased family time. He is delighted that his children can see him enjoying his job so much but dismissed any suggestion that he and the others are here on vacation. 'This is a beautiful era that we are living together as friends and teammates,' Suarez said. 'We share a lot of history together and we are now in a stage of our careers where each day the end is closer, so you enjoy each day more and we are trying to do our best on the field.' He said he realized after so many years as an elite athlete in Europe that fans don't remember what you did three or four days ago. They focus only on the present. And in the United States, he is enjoying a better work-life balance. But, he insists he is working as hard as ever. There are critics who think we come to MLS to retire or be on vacation, and you all can see that is not true,' he said. 'We have not stopped since we arrived. We are playing all the time. I keep fighting on the field, competing hard. That is in our DNA. We want to win everything. That is what carried us to the top of our careers, and we will keep being that way until we finish playing.' Suarez and Messi played at Barcelona together from 2014 to 2020 and formed one of the most dangerous duos in recent memory. He scored 198 goals in six seasons for the Spanish team and became close friends with Messi. Their families also forged a bond. Along with Alba and Busquets they won the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup in 2015 and won four league titles. Before joining Barcelona, Suarez had won the European Golden Shoe with Liverpool. Among South American players in history, he ranks fourth with 69 national team goals behind Messi (112), Neymar (79) and Pele (77). He signed a one-year contract extension at the end of last season and is making $1.5 million this year. He said Tuesday that he has not made plans yet for 2026, though he would like to retire alongside Messi, who is expected to sign an extension for next season. 'As for my future, I will see at the end of the season, see how I performed over the whole year,' he said. 'When it comes time to make the decision, you never know. You have plans, sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't. Right now, I am focusing on this stage of my career.'
