Lionel Messi scored his ninth goal in six matches as Inter Miami dominated Philadelphia Union 4-1, securing a spot in the Leagues Cup final. Despite Philadelphia’s strong record and home advantage, Miami quickly took control with a swift goal from Josef Martinez. Messi’s shot from a distance extended the lead, followed by Jordi Alba’s goal. Alejandro Bedoya’s goal gave Philadelphia hope, but David Ruiz’s strike sealed Miami’s 21-goal tally in six games. Miami, in their first club history final appearance, will face CF Monterrey or Nashville SC in the Leagues Cup final, and their victory guarantees a debut in the CONCACAF Champions League next year.
Messi’s magic continues as Inter Miami advances to the League Cup final
