It's hard to argue there's been a better team in Leagues Cup than Seattle, who booked their spot in the final via a 2-0 win at the LA Galaxy.

Pedro de la Vega and Osaze De Rosario scored for the Sounders, who secured a second consecutive knockout round clean sheet despite Nouhou's 83rd-minute red card.

The lone MLS or LIGA MX team to secure maximum points from Phase One, the Sounders booked their 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup spot and now eye their first Leagues Cup title.

Inter Miami CF

Lionel Messi provided more Leagues Cup magic, scoring twice in the final 13 minutes to lead Inter Miami to a stunning comeback win over Florida Derby rival Orlando City.

Back from a hamstring injury, Messi first leveled from the penalty spot and then scored on a give-and-go with Jordi Alba for what proved to be the winner two minutes from full-time.

Telasco Segovia put the match away with a terrific goal in second-half stoppage time, returning the 2023 Leagues Cup champions to the tournament final.
