Overview
- The MLS Disciplinary Committee suspended and fined Suárez for kicking Andy Najar in the 71st minute of Game 2, an incident that drew no card during the match.
- Inter Miami’s appeal was denied, so the forward will serve the ban on Nov. 8 at Chase Stadium with the series level at 1–1.
- League rules allow retroactive punishment when officials fail to issue a card for conduct that warrants one, and the committee applied that authority here.
- This marks Suárez’s second MLS suspension of 2025 after a three-match ban in September related to a post–Leagues Cup spitting incident.
- MLS also fined Inter Miami defender Ian Fray for embellishment in Game 2, and Miami will be without its usual No. 9 for the elimination match.
