Inter Miami squandered a wealth of possession as the Seattle Sounders eclipsed Lionel Messi’s side 3-0 to win the Leagues Cup.

The Herons had 68 per cent of possession and made 10 shot attempts in the match, but not a single one was on target.

Osaze De Rosario opened the scoring for Seattle in the 26th minute off a cross from Alex Roldan.

Roldan added a goal of his own in the 86th minute when he smoothly converted a penalty after substitute Georgi Minoungou drew a foul in the box.

Paul Rothrock compounded Miami’s pain when he found the back of the net just three minutes later.

Messi had a golden opportunity to get the Herons on the board early in the second half, but failed to capitalise on a stellar pass from Luis Suarez.

The result makes Seattle the only MLS team to have won all five annual trophies available to clubs in the league.
