Alex Roldan converted from the penalty spot and had an assist during the first half. Seattle Sounders defeated Inter Miami 3-0 to win the 2025 Leagues Cup final. The match was marred by a melee at the final whistle involving multiple players from both teams. Seattle won its second Concacaf honour and ninth all-time major trophy since beginning MLS play in 2009. It is the Sounders’ first since they defeated Mexico’s Pumas UNAM over two legs to win the 2022 Concaf Champions League. Paul Rothrock scored the third in the final moments of a win that guaranteed Seattle a first-round bye into the round of 16. Miami failed to secure their third major trophy after Messi’s arrival during the summer of the 2023 season. Minoungou attempted a cutback and was caught by Bright’s sliding challenge. Roldan coolly converted the penalty past Oscar Ustari in the 84th minute.
