MLS Fines Messi After Altercation With Philadelphia Union’s Quinn Sullivan
Major League Soccer has fined Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi an undisclosed amount after an altercation with Philadelphia Union player Quinn Sullivan during their 2-2 draw. The incident occurred near the centre circle in stoppage time after a heated exchange. Messi was seen making contact with Sullivan’s neck, an action that violates MLS rules on contact with an opponent’s head or neck. The referee did not penalise the incident during the match, but MLS’s Disciplinary Committee later reviewed it and issued the sanction. It is Messi’s second reported MLS disciplinary fine since he joined Inter Miami in 2023.
