Suarez appears to spit at opposition coach after melee

Following their 3-0 League Cup final defeat, Inter Miami forward Luis Suarez made an offensive spit at a member of the Seattle Sounders’ coaching staff.

Following a melee involving both sets of players that the Uruguayan had sparked, the incident occurred shortly after the full-time whistle.

Before team-mate Sergio Busquets struck the Mexico international on the chin, Suarez, 38, grabbed Sounders midfielder Obed Vargas around the neck.

After being held back by team-mate Oscar Ustari, Suarez appeared to spit in the direction of the coach after an altercation with a Sounders employee moments later.

Seattle manager Brian Schmetzer responded to the question about the melee by saying, “Unfortunately, that is going to take some of the attention away from a Seattle Sounders performance.

Their players were irritated, which caused some unfortunate things to happen on the field.

“I’m going to stop there because that shouldn’t be the story,” she said. The game’s story is different from what transpired after it.

Javier Mascherano, the coach for Inter Miami, said, “I have nothing to say because I was far away and did not understand what transpired.”

Nobody wants these kinds of actions to occur. I’m not sure what happened, but there might have been provocation.

Suarez has had a number of contentious encounters with controversy throughout his career.

After being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra, he was given an eight-game ban at Liverpool in 2011.

He also received bans for three different biting incidents while playing for Uruguay, Liverpool, and Ajax.
