Inter Miami forward Luis Suarez has been handed a six-match suspension for spitting at a Seattle Sounders' staff member following his side's 3-0 Leagues Cup final defeat.
The incident happened shortly after the full-time whistle of the match on 31 August, following a melee involving both sets of players and sparked by the Uruguayan.
Former Liverpool and Barcelona striker Suarez, 38, apologised for his behaviour in a statement on his Instagram account.
A statement from the Leagues Cup disciplinary committee said Suarez's suspension would only apply to next year's edition of the tournament, although Major League Soccer "reserves the right" to impose additional punishment.
