Taylor notched his assist in the 54th minute when Campana scored his fourth goal of the season for a two-goal advantage. Vancouver fans voiced their displeasure on social media after Inter Miami announced earlier in the week that the trio would not be making the trip out West. Miami coach Gerardo Martino told reporters Friday that the club opted to keep the 36-year-old Messi — as well Suarez, 37, and Busquets, 35, in Florida because of upcoming home matches on Wednesday and Saturday next week.
