The Seattle Sounders defeated Inter Miami 3-0 in the Leagues Cup final on Sunday, and the time between the final whistle and the trophy lift offered eyebrow-raising scenes all their own.
Luis Suárez, who got into a few minor altercations but was frustratingly goalless through the intense, physical match, took time after the final whistle to confront Sounders midfielder Obed Vargas. In that interaction, Suárez put his arm tightly around Vargas’s neck before being pulled away by Sounders players as players and staff from both teams joined the melee.
