Béjar took refuge in the church of the Divina Pastora de Motril on the southern Spanish coast and defended her son. The sport's international governing body, FIFA, on Saturday suspended Rubiales from all soccer activities for 90 days. The kiss has marred what had been joyous national celebration of La Roja's first time lifting the Women's World Cup trophy.
