Inter Miami players, coaches fined by MLS due to mass confrontation in loss to Crew

MLS imposed fines on Inter Miami's head coach Cristian Kily Gonzalez and five players for breaching the league's mass confrontation policy during their match against the Crew on September 27. The altercation occurred in the 26th minute. The individuals fined included Sergio Reguilon, Micael, Yannick Bright, Rodrigo De Paul, and Daniel Pinter, along with the club and Gonzalez himself.

Prior to the Crew's penalty kick goal in the 28th minute, which was confirmed through video review, Miami's star player Lionel Messi initiated a protest by rallying a group of teammates. Casemiro was subsequently shown a yellow card. Messi equalized the score with a remarkable free kick in the 33rd minute, and later, Crew striker Jamal Thiare secured the winning goal in the 98th minute in front of a sold-out crowd.

Officials issued a total of six yellow cards to Inter Miami and four to the Crew. Santiago Morales of Miami received a red card in the 96th minute after accumulating two bookings within a four-minute span. The Crew currently hold the twelfth spot in the Eastern Conference standings with 29 points, while Miami occupies the third position with 46 points. This incident was originally reported by The Columbus Dispatch.
