CNN —Four players have been suspended after last week’s bad-tempered soccer match between the US Men’s National Team (USMNT) and Mexico, which was marred by pushing and shoving between the two teams.
The contest was also ended about four minutes early following discriminatory chants from the crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The four players who were red carded during the match on June 15 have all been handed suspensions for “on-field player misconduct,” continental governing body Concacaf announced on Friday.
The USMNT won the match 3-0 and went on to win the Nations League title with a 2-0 victory against Canada three days later.
In the upcoming Gold Cup, the USMNT faces Jamaica in Chicago on Saturday and Mexico plays Honduras in Houston on Sunday.
