""We're very pleased with the result," Schmetzer said. "I think the guys again dug down deep because at 1-0 the game could have gone either way. They were putting a lot of pressure on us, and that second goal helped us relieve the pressure. "And then you couldn't ask for a more storybook ending for Paul [Rothrock] to score the third goal. So obviously, everybody in the stands is happy, and you know, it's a great day to be a Sounder.""
"Luis Suarez could be facing a lengthy suspension after appearing to spit on a member of the Seattle Sounders coaching staff as Inter Miami's bid to win the Leagues Cup ended in defeat and disorder. Suarez clashed with the Sounders staffer after his side were comprehensively beaten 3-0 in the final at Lumen Field with a Leagues Cup spokesperson telling AP there would be a review of the incident."
"Miami had their chances, Messi blasting over from close range early in the second half and Tadeo Allende shooting wide with only home keeper Andy Thomas to beat. Both opportunities came and went with the score at 1-0 and the Floridians' frustration boiled over as two late goals saw Seattle home. Schmetzer added: "Unfortunately, that [the incident involving Suarez] is going to take some of the attention away from a great performance by the Seattle Sounders.""
