"Major League Soccer has now handed Suarez a three-match ban, meaning he will miss matches against Charlotte FC, DC United and Seattle in Miami's domestic campaign. Miami lost 3-0 in the final at Lumen Field in Seattle. A melee involving both sets of players broke out, with Suarez grabbing Sounders midfielder Obed Vargas before spitting on security director Gene Ramirez."
""It was a moment of much tension and frustration, where just after the game ended things happened that shouldn't have happened, but that doesn't justify my reaction," Suarez wrote on Instagram. "I made a mistake and sincerely apologise. "It's not the image I want to give in front of my family, that suffers because of my mistakes, in front of my club, that also doesn't deserve seeing themselves affected by something like this.""
Luis Suárez received a three-match Major League Soccer ban for spitting on Seattle Sounders security director Gene Ramirez after the Leagues Cup final. The Leagues Cup Disciplinary Committee previously issued a six-match ban that applied only to future editions of that tournament. The MLS suspension will sideline Suárez for matches against Charlotte FC, D.C. United and Seattle. Inter Miami lost 3-0 in the final at Lumen Field, where a post-game melee erupted and Suárez grabbed Sounders midfielder Obed Vargas before spitting on Ramirez. Suárez issued an Instagram apology, calling the moment tense, admitting a mistake, and apologising to his family and club. He has prior bans for racial abuse and biting incidents.
