Messi scores goal, delivers assist as Inter Miami beats Seattle Sounders
"Lionel Messi had a goal and an assist as Inter Miami beat Seattle 3-1 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 August 31, but Messi assisted a wide-open Jordi Alba with an outside-of-the-foot pass in the 12th minute to give the Herons an early lead on Tuesday night."
"Ian Fray headed home Rodrigo De Paul's corner in the opening minutes of the second half to extend Inter's lead to 3-0. It was definitely a little extra motivation. After losing a game like that, you don't forget it, Fray said reflecting on the rematch win. Obed Vargas found the back of the net for Seattle's goal in the 69th minute, as the Mexican international scored on his country's independence day."
