Suárez spits at rival coach after Inter Miami lose to Seattle 😱 | OneFootball

After Seattle’s 3-0 victory in the Leagues Cup, the celebrations turned into a fight on the field. Luis Suárez was at the center of controversy after spitting at a member of the opposing team.

The end of the Leagues Cup final between Seattle Sounders and Inter Miami delivered a chapter as striking as it was unexpected. Once the 3-0 win for the home team was sealed, what began as greetings between players escalated into a brawl that lasted several minutes on the Lumen Field pitch.

Although the official broadcast did not capture the start of the conflict, cameras caught several Inter Miami players involved in the scuffle. Baltasar Rodríguez threw a punch at an opponent, Tomás Avilés fell to the ground in the middle of an altercation, and Marcelo Weigandt also intervened to defend his teammates.

The most serious incident involved Uruguayan Luis Suárez. Apple TV footage showed the striker spitting at a member of Seattle’s coaching staff, sparking major controversy. Meanwhile, Sergio Busquets was caught in another altercation with midfielder Danny Leyva, whom he struck in the face.

In contrast, Lionel Messi stayed out of the incidents. The Argentine captain remained apart from the fight, greeting opponents and teammates at midfield.

The brawl was brought under control minutes later by the intervention of referees and staff from both teams, though it left a stain on the tournament’s finale, which crowned Seattle Sounders as champions. We now await the disciplinary decision from MLS and the tournament organizers, while Inter Miami shifts all its focus to the U.S. league, their only remaining objective to avoid ending the season without a title.
