The final match ended in triumph for "Inter Miami," which defeated the "Vancouver Whitecaps" with a score of 3-1. All three goals scored were linked to Lionel Messi's involvement, with Rodrigo De Paul netting the decisive goal in the 71st minute.
The first goal of the game was an own goal by "Vancouver," triggered by Messi's precise action. After the break, "Vancouver" managed to equalize when the ball went past "Miami" goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo. However, De Paul quickly capitalized on the opponent's mistake and put his team back in the lead, and in stoppage time, Tadeo Allende set the final score with another assist from Messi.
Despite "Vancouver" controlling the game in the first half and creating chances, the experience and skill of "Inter Miami" under Messi proved decisive. This victory was significant for the club as they won the MLS Cup for the first time and concluded their history at Chase Stadium before moving to Miami Freedom Park next season.
This win also served as a farewell for team veterans Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who, along with Messi and club owner David Beckham, celebrated this historic moment.
