MLS said in a statement that their disciplinary committee ruled that he violated the alliance’s “face/head/neck”.
Messi just built a downtime equalizer for teammate Telasco Segovia in the season opener with a 2-2 draw at Inter Miami’s Chase Stadium in Miami.
Teammate Luis Suarez was also fined for violating the same MLS policy for pinching opposing player Birk Risa’s neck in the back in the half-time.
