Inter Miami have won the 2025 MLS Cup. A goal by De Paul in the 71st minute, set up by fellow Argentine Messi, proved to be the difference as Miami wins its first MLS title.

The Vancouver Whitecaps gave Inter Miami everything they had, dominating possession — 59 per cent to 41 per cent — and taking it to the Herons for long stretches of play.

But Miami, as they have done all season, made their opponents pay for their mistakes.

In this case, it was an Ocampo own goal after Allende broke through the defence and De Paul scoring in the second half after a turnover by Andrés Cubas.

You could cut the tension with a knife inside B.C. Place.

The game has opened up again since Miami's second goal, with the home team playing with more belief.

Things are also getting scrappy: Tackles are flying and so are the yellow cards.

Cubas and Laborda have been booked for the Whitecaps, while Miami's De Paul also got a caution.

The clock is ticking down on the Whitecaps' hopes. Can they find a second equalizer?

Yannick Bright, a defensive-minded midfielder, comes into the game to replace Miami’s Mateo Silvetti as the Herons look toward the finish line.

A Miami goal once again brings the vast majority of the crowd to their feet as the momentum of the game changes again.

The beat coming from the drum line, led by Miami's supporters in the north section of Chase Stadium, increases in speed. The crowd claps and stomps along with it.

The Southsiders section appears stunned.

Cubas will not want to relive that moment. He lost control of the ball and Messi stole it before releasing a perfect pass for de Paul, who made no mistake with the finish.

The 'Caps will be smarting from that goal, having dominated the second half.

Goal Miami: Rodrigo de Paul, against the run of play, puts Miami up a goal with an assist from Messi, who took the ball away from Andrés Cubas.

Vancouver captain Ryan Gauld has come into the game for the Whitecaps to replace Ahmed. Defender Joedrick Pupe is in for Ralph Priso.

It’s the second and third substitutions of the match, after Telasco Segovia came into the game for Inter Miami for Baltasar Rodríguez, who was on a yellow card.

The majority of the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale remains seated for that Vancouver goal — except for the section of hosting Whitecaps supporters, which erupts into a frenzy.

The atmosphere of the arena changed in an instant. The Miami crowd is a lot quieter after the tying goal.

The energy in the stadium just shifted: there's even more hope and excitement now. They’re singing, “Olé, olé, olé, olé” and “Let’s go, Whitecaps.” It’s echoing across the stadium.
