Messi scored twice and Inter Miami qualified for the Leagues Cup final.

Returned after two matches of absence due to a thigh injury, the Argentine equalized from a penalty in the 77th minute (1-1), before putting the team ahead in the 88th minute. In extra time, Telasco Segovia scored the third goal, securing Miami's qualification.

Miami will play in the final against the Seattle Sounders, who eliminated LA Galaxy.
