Lionel Messi was at the heart of Inter Miami’s 3-1 win over the Seattle Sounders in their MLS rematch of a fiery Leagues Cup final. The 38-year-old Argentine set up Jordi Alba’s early goal before scoring himself to give Miami a 2-0 halftime lead. Ian Fray added a third early in the second half, with Seattle’s Obed Vargas pulling one back late. The win marks a strong response after Miami’s 3-0 loss to Seattle in the heated Leagues Cup final, which ended in a brawl involving Luis Suarez.
