Overview
- The MLS Disciplinary Committee handed Suárez a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for violent conduct from the November 1 match against Nashville SC.
- He serves the ban today in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal in Fort Lauderdale, with the series tied 1-1 and penalties to decide it if level after 90 minutes.
- The sanction followed a reviewed incident in which Suárez kicked Andy Najar off the ball in the 71st minute, a play not penalized by the referee or VAR at the time.
- An appeal submitted on Suárez’s behalf was denied within hours, according to coach Javier Mascherano.
- Inter Miami said it accepts the ruling but cautioned that post-match re-refereeing sets a precedent, and the league cited Suárez’s recent Leagues Cup-related suspensions as context.
