After winning the MLS Eastern Conference, Inter Miami will face Vancouver in the 2025 MLS Grand Final.
In the 8th minute, Messi launched an attack on the right flank, then passed to De Paul. The Argentine midfielder chipped the ball to Tadeo Allende, who broke the offside trap and escaped to the right side of the penalty area. Instead of shooting into the far corner, Allende crossed low, causing the ball to hit Edier Ocampo's foot and change direction into the Vancouver goal.

After Inter Miami's early goal, the two teams played a tight game. Chances became clearer for Vancouver in the second half of the first half, but they could not convert into goals.
Vancouver continued to maintain their advantage after the break and were rewarded with an equalizer in the 60th minute. White passed to the left edge of the box for Ali Ahmed to run up and finish, causing the ball to hit goalkeeper Novo, bounce off the post and into the goal.
Two minutes after the equalizer, Vancouver almost doubled the score in a rare situation. Sabbi broke through the middle, shot hard, and the ball hit both posts in succession, but did not go into the goal. Then, defender Maximiliano Falcon cleared the ball, hit Sabbi's foot, bounced back and hit the post a third time, but the ball still went out.
In a game where they were forced to play on the field, Inter Miami did not have many chances to counterattack. However, they unexpectedly raised the score to 2-1 in the 71st minute.
Messi dribbled the ball in the middle of the field and passed it to Rodrigo De Paul, who broke the offside trap and shot diagonally past the opposing goalkeeper.
After the second goal, Inter Miami took the initiative to slow down the game. Messi and his teammates also tried to make it difficult for their opponents by controlling the ball, pressing and narrowing the attacking space.
Vancouver pressed the field, but did not create as many chances as before. In the 90+6 minute, Inter Miami sealed the 3-1 victory, when Messi had a second assist for Allende to finish past goalkeeper Takaoka.
