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

MLS has fined Inter Miami head coach Cristian Kily Gonzalez and five players for violating the league's mass confrontation policy during a 2-1 loss to the Crew on September 27. The infraction occurred in the 26th minute when Miami star Lionel Messi led a group of players in protesting a Crew penalty kick goal, which was subsequently awarded after video review.

The protest led to several yellow cards being shown, and Miami's Santiago Morales was eventually sent off in the 96th minute after accumulating two bookings. The incident resulted in fines for the club, coach, and players, with the Crew finishing the match on a high note as Jamal Thiare scored the game-winning goal in the 98th minute.
