Suarez tries to break Monterrey defender’s arm, gets away with it

The Uruguayan took out his frustration on the defender’s arm, somehow getting away with it

Luis Suárez was getting frustrated in Wednesday’s game at Monterrey, so he decided to take it out on Víctor Guzmán’s arm.

The Inter Miami star was caught on camera performing a MMA move on the Monterrey defender, and somehow escaped without punishment. Almost as miraculously, Guzmán also escaped without injury.

Miami travelled to Monterrey for the second leg of a Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal, looking to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg.

Even with Lionel Messi back from injury, things weren’t looking great for the Herons near the end of the first half. Brandon Vazquez scored the opener for Monterrey 31 minutes in, taking advantage of a Drake Callender error to make it 3-1 on aggregate.

With just minutes left in the half, Suárez took out his frustration on the unwitting Guzmán. With the ball long gone, the Uruguayan grabbed the defender’s arm and twisted him to the ground — a maneuver that wouldn’t be out of place in the octagon.

Even with plenty of quality replays available, there was no VAR review and the game continued.

Monterrey went on to win 3-1 on the night, and 5-2 on aggregate, advancing to the semifinal where it will face the Columbus Crew.
