Inter Miami forward Luis Suarez will miss his team’s final game of their playoff series vs. Nashville SC after receiving a one game suspension from the league.
At the time of the incident, the referee issued neither a red, nor a yellow card following Suarez’s kick on Andy Najar. However, after reviewing the incident, Major League Soccer issued a 1 game ban in addition to issuing a fine.
“The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended Inter Miami CF forward Luis Suárez for one match and fined Suárez an undisclosed amount under Disciplinary Committee Parameter 3 for violent conduct in the 71st minute of Inter Miami’s match against Nashville SC on Nov. 1,” MLS said in a statement.
“Suárez will serve his one-match suspension on Nov. 8 during Miami’s match against Nashville.”
The suspension will be the second of the season for Suarez, who previously received a 3 game suspension for spitting on a member of the Seattle Sounders’ staff following the Leagues Cup final on August 31st.
Inter Miami and Nashville are tied 1-1 in their best of 3 playoff series following a 3-1 win for the Herons in Game 1, and a 2-1 win for Nashville this past weekend. The third and deciding game will take place at Chase Stadium on Saturday November 8th at 8pm ET.
