"The Leagues Cup is held jointly by Major League Soccer (MLS) and Liga MX with Concacaf sanctioning, and thus has a disciplinary committee independent from both leagues or the continental federation. Presumably, it would be responsible for deciding any discipline for the incident, though potentially MLS could also get involved. Roldan set up Osaze De Rosario's fourth goal of the tournament for the opener for Seattle, which won its second Concacaf honour and ninth all-time major trophy since beginning MLS play in 2009."
"Alex Roldan converted from the penalty spot late in the second half and had an assist during the first half as hosts Seattle Sounders defeated Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami 3-0 to win the 2025 Leagues Cup final. The match on Sunday was marred by a melee at the final whistle involving multiple players from both teams. Miami striker Luis Suarez appeared to be one of the players at the middle of it, and video cameras appeared to capture him spitting at a member of Seattle's staff post-game"
Alex Roldan converted a late penalty and assisted earlier as Seattle Sounders defeated Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami 3-0 to win the 2025 Leagues Cup final. Osaze De Rosario opened the scoring for his fourth tournament goal, and Paul Rothrock added a late third that secured Seattle its second Concacaf honour and its ninth major trophy since 2009, plus a first-round bye into the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16. The match was marred by a melee at the final whistle, and video appeared to show Miami striker Luis Suarez spitting at a member of Seattle's staff post-game. The Leagues Cup is jointly held by MLS and Liga MX with Concacaf sanctioning and has an independent disciplinary committee to consider any punishment.
