Pumas’ Carrasquilla Suspended for Play-In After Fifth Yellow, Cruz Azul Seeks Further Review

The ban stems from the five-yellow-card rule rather than the collision that injured Kevin Mier.

Overview

  • Mexico’s Disciplinary Commission issued an automatic one-match suspension and fine under Liga MX regulations after Adalberto Carrasquilla reached five cautions.
  • Carrasquilla’s fifth booking came on Jornada 17 against Cruz Azul in the same sequence that left goalkeeper Kevin Mier with a tibia fracture, but the commission said the sanction is unrelated to that contact.
  • The caution log shows yellows in Jornada 1 vs Santos, Jornada 2 vs Pachuca, Jornada 4 vs Necaxa, Jornada 11 vs América, and the fifth in Jornada 17 vs Cruz Azul.
  • Cruz Azul is meeting with the FMF to present evidence and request Carrasquilla’s disqualification, a separate disciplinary push that remains under review.
  • FMF leader Mikel Arriola told Pumas to trust the commissions’ process, with the club expected to have a chance to respond as the case proceeds.
