Miami and Seattle came out on top of the all-MLS semifinal to make it to Sunday’s final. Inter Miami defeated Orlando City 3-1 at home, overcoming Orlando’s 1-0 lead behind two goals from Argentine legend Lionel Messi: a penalty in the 77th minute and another goal in the 88th. Midfielder Telasco Segovia scored again for Miami in stoppage time to seal the victory.

The Sounders, meanwhile, picked up a strong 2-0 victory over the LA Galaxy while away, taking the lead with an early goal from young star forward Pedro de la Vega. Another young forward, Osaze De Rosario, doubled that lead for Seattle in the 57th minute.
Messi and Co. took home the Leagues Cup trophy in 2023, and will have a chance to become the first team to secure the tournament title twice. (The first Leagues Cup was played in 2019, so only four teams have won it before.) Seattle, meanwhile, was runner-up in 2021, and will have a chance to add the Cup to its already large trophy case.
