Suárez banned for attack, to miss Inter Miami in MLS play-offs | OneFootball

The Uruguayan forward Luis Suárez was punished this Wednesday with a one-game suspension for assaulting an opponent and will miss Inter Miami in the decisive game of the first round of the MLS playoffs against Nashville SC.

The American league's Disciplinary Committee suspended Suárez for "violent conduct" during Inter's second game in the series against Nashville.

At 36 minutes into the second half, the 38-year-old Uruguayan veteran kicked defender Andy Nájar during an attacking play by the Miami team.

Suárez did not receive a card for the play and Inter was defeated 2-1. With one victory for each team in two games, the qualifier will be decided in a third game, which will be played next Saturday in Florida.

The Uruguayan forward had already been suspended for three games by the MLS in September for spitting at an opponent in the Leagues Cup final against the Seattle Sounders.
