Suarez is suspended! Mascherano: Accept the penalty, but hope all teams will treat it equally

November 08: The MLS Disciplinary Committee suspended Suarez, preventing him from participating in the third key game of the playoffs against Nashville. Inter Miami head coach Mascherano expressed his views on the matter.

Mascherano said, "We accept the penalty, but I think it is strange because the referee and the video assistant referee (VAR) watched the action in real time, but did not think it was a foul action."

"The rules of MLS are like this. We just hope that this does not set a precedent, and we hope that all All teams are treated fairly. I'm not an MLS historian, so I don't know if any players have been suspended after the playoffs. "

In the G2 game between Inter Miami and Nashville, Suarez committed a foul without the ball in the 71st minute when he kicked Nashville SC defender Andy Nahar. At the time of the incident, the referee did not call a foul or show a yellow card.
