US fines Messi over Sullivan incident
Lionel Messi, the captain of the American team Inter Miami, was fined after slapping Philadelphia player Quinn Sullivan during a match that ended in a 2-2 draw. The Disciplinary Committee of Major League Soccer imposed the fine for violating the policy regarding touching a opponent's face or neck. Messi approached Sullivan in stoppage time and punched him on the back of the neck following a brief verbal altercation, before the referee intervened to separate them without issuing a card. Additionally, Miami player Yenick Bright was sent off the game after a scuffle with teammate Cavan Sullivan inside the penalty area.
