In the MLS, Lionel Messi lost his cool last Thursday. During the match against the Philadelphia Union (2-2), he slapped an opponent, as TV footage showed.
He had clashed with forward Quinn Sullivan, but the incident had no consequences at the time. Now, however, the league has fined him.
The league did not disclose the amount of the fine. In its official statement, it said the slap had “violated league guidelines regarding contact with an opponent’s face, head, or neck.”
However, the Argentine will not face a suspension.
