Miami postgame… we have our thoughts📺:https://t.co/rqy6ylX4tSpic.twitter.com/jWdngFZ3BU — MLS on Air (@MLSonAir)September 1, 2025 "Unfortunately, that is gonna take some attention away from what was a great Sounders performance," Seattle head coach Brian Schmetzer said postgame. "I can take it as a compliment that their players were frustrated, and frustrations led to things that shouldn't happen on the field. But that shouldn't be the story." The game itself was physical. Throughout the match, Inter Miami expressed frustration with the refereeing, with as many as four players at a time continuously swarming the referee to complain about calls. Both teams ended with roughly equal fouls, with Seattle picking up 11 and Miami 12. Miami seemed to think it should have been more. The fight took things to a new level, with Suárez in particular engaging in multiple behaviors that might result in punishment from the league. "I'll let the commissioner, I'll let the people in charge deal with whatever happened at the end of the game," Schmetzer said. "I don't wanna discount the way our team played and kept their composure on the field during those 90 minutes. That again to me is the story."
