"Lionel Messi had a goal and an assist as Inter Miami CF beat Seattle Sounders 3-1 on Tuesday night just over two weeks after losing to the Sounders in the Leagues Cup final. The Sounders beat Inter Miami 3-0 in the Leagues Cup on Aug. 31, but Messi assisted a wide open Jordi Alba with an outside-of-the-foot pass in the 12th minute to give the Herons early command."
"Messi nearly doubled the score in the 28th minute when he received a ball over the top and once again tried to execute using the outside of his left foot, but the shot hit off the post. Alba returned the favor in the 41st minute, assisting a darting Messi who got just enough of a touch to make it 2-0. Ian Fray headed home Rodrigo De Paul's corner in the opening minutes of the second half to extended the Herons' lead to 3-0."
