Seattle Sounders Clinch Leagues Cup with 3-0 Win Over Inter Miami

Posted : 01 September 2025

The Seattle Sounders produced a stunning 3-0 victory over Lionel Messi and Inter Miami on Sunday to claim the Leagues Cup, completing their collection of North American trophies in front of a record-breaking crowd at Lumen Field. Osaze De Rosario opened the scoring in the 26th minute, Alex Roldan converted a second-half penalty, and Paul Rothrock sealed the triumph late, as Seattle’s resilient defense kept a star-studded Miami side at bay.

 

Inter Miami’s frustrations boiled over at the final whistle, prompting officials to intervene and prevent a potential brawl, while the Sounders celebrated their first-ever Leagues Cup title. With a roster payroll of $16.7 million—far below Miami’s $46.8 million—Seattle became the first MLS club to win every major North American trophy, including two MLS Cups, an MLS Supporters Shield, four U.S. Open Cups, and a CONCACAF Champions Cup.

 

The match drew 69,314 fans, smashing the previous Leagues Cup attendance record of 50,675 and setting a new high for a Sounders home game at Lumen Field, surpassing the 2019 MLS Cup final against Toronto. De Rosario’s header from Roldan’s cross gave Seattle the early lead, and the Sounders nearly doubled their advantage late in the first half with Jesus Ferreira’s long-range effort hitting the post.

 

Inter Miami tried to rally after halftime, with Messi and Luis Suarez combining on multiple occasions, but Seattle’s defense, led by Obed Vargas and Jackson Ragen, repeatedly thwarted their efforts. A late penalty from Roldan in the 84th minute gave Seattle breathing room, and Rothrock’s angled strike in the 89th capped off the victory, sending the crowd into celebration.

 

Both finalists had already secured spots in the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup, but the Leagues Cup win guarantees Seattle direct entry into the round of 16 and a chance to compete for a place in the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. The triumph marks another historic milestone for a club that continues to dominate North American football.
