The Leagues Cup 2025 final concluded with a resounding 3-0 Seattle Sounders victory over Inter Miami.
But what should have been a sporting celebration ended in a scandalous altercation – a scene that threatens to overshadow the champion’s triumph.
The most tense moment
At the end of the Leagues Cup 2025 final, played on August 31 at Lumen Field in front of more than 69,000 spectators, a brawl broke out on the field.
Luis Suárez was caught holding Seattle’s Obed Vargas by the neck, triggering shoves and blows between players and part of the coaching staff.
Sergio Busquets also intervened, punching the same player.
The most controversial incident occurred when Suarez apparently spat at Seattle safety Gene Ramirez.
The video of the event is widely circulated and generated strong public outrage.
Possible sanctions on the way
The Leagues Cup, jointly operated by MLS and Liga MX with independent disciplinary regulation, has not yet announced official sanctions.
However, according to the regulations, spitting could carry a minimum suspension of 6 matches.
