Football/ Inter Miami: Luis Suárez suspended six games for post-final incident
Luis Suárez has been suspended for six matches by the Leagues Cup disciplinary committee following his actions in the aftermath of the tournament final, which saw Inter Miami defeated 3-0 by the Seattle Sounders. The 38-year-old Uruguayan striker was punished for grabbing opponent Obed Vargas by the neck and spitting on a member of the Sounders’ coaching staff after the final whistle.
Suárez issued an apology four days after the incident, though it did not specifically address the individuals involved.
His teammate Sergio Busquets also received a two-match ban for striking an opponent during the same match.
In addition to the Leagues Cup sanctions, both players could face further disciplinary action from MLS, as the league reviews the events.
The suspensions mark another controversial chapter in the veteran forward’s career, long marked by on-pitch controversies.
