Despite being the favorites to win the 2025 Leagues Cup, Inter Miami were soundly defeated by the Seattle Sounders. This marked Javier Mascherano’s first defeat in a final in his career as head coach. In addition, he faces a tough challenge ahead, as Luis Suarez will not only receive the Leagues Cup sanction after his altercate with Sounders assistant Steven Lenhart, but the MLS has also taken strong action due to his behavior.
According to Tom Bogert, MLS has suspended Luis Suarez for an additional three games following his altercation with Steven Lenhart. The Inter Miami star will miss matches against Charlotte FC, Seattle Sounders, and DC United, creating further challenges for his team in the Eastern Conference.
