Inter Miami vs. Puebla live updates: How to watch Leagues Cup tournament games Saturday
Messi, Argentina win second straight Copa America final
USA TODAY Sports’ Safid Deen recaps the Copa America final where Argentina defeated Colombia for their second-straight title in this tournament.
Lionel Messi won’t be in action, but Inter Miami will begin its Leagues Cup tournament title defense tonight against LIGA MX side Puebla at Chase Stadium.
Messi remains week to week with his right ankle ligament injury he suffered during Argentina’s win in the Copa America final on July 14.
However, Inter Miami is on a roll, winning six of seven games without Messi dating to last month. Puebla has started its LIGA MX season with a win, draw and two losses.
Inter Miami vs. Puebla is one of seven Leagues Cup tournament matches on Saturday. Follow along here for live updates from tonight’s match, and other Leagues Cup game highlights:
The Inter Miami and Puebla match begins at 8 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV.
Columbus Crew standout Cucho Hernandez has a hat trick in the first half as against English Premier League club Aston Villa in a friendly on Saturday night.
The Crew has a bye into the Leagues Cup Round of 32, but their best player surely is taking advantage of the matchup.
Messi may not be in action, but he’s in the stands and in camera’s sight for tonight’s match.
Matias Rojas has Inter Miami on the board after nine minutes with a stellar left boot to give his side an early 1-0 lead.
A beautiful entry pass by Jordi Alba was scored by Marcelo ‘Chelo’ Weigandt in the fourth minute, but Weigandt was offsides. The set piece won’t count for Miami.
Here’s the starting lineups for both sides:
No, Messi is not playing tonight. He remains sidelined due to his right ankle injury.
Messi is not with the Argentina team, competing at the Paris Olympics. He’s with Inter Miami after his Copa America run.

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: “Regardless of the scheme is, I always go back to that, it’s just about committing to doing hard things. We were really moving in the zone, taking away airspace and scrambling to challenge shots at the rim. In a lot of these losses in the last month we’ve just been giving up shots at the rim and threes.”
