Inter Miami star Jordi Alba punished by MLS Disciplinary Committee for on-field incident in Philadelphia Union clash

FIFA Club World Cup

Al Ahly SC

Inter Miami CF

<p>Inter Miami left back Jordi Alba will be fined an undisclosed amount by MLS after violating the league's policy regarding hands to the face/head/neck of an opponent following an incident in Miami's clash with Philadelphia last weekend, <a href="https://www.mlssoccer.com/video/disciplinary-committee-05-24-25-phi-mia-alba-hands-to-face-head-neck-57min-pgm#disciplinary-committee-05-24-25-phi-mia-alba-hands-to-face-head-neck-57min-pgm" target="_blank">the league announced</a>. The former Barca defender seemed to lash out at the face of an opponent off the ball, although it wasn't picked up by the referee or VAR at the time.</p><p>Alba, 36, has six assists in 12 appearances this season. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Chicago's Gutierrez also earned himself a duo of fines for a red card and a subsequent incident in the Fire's game against NYCFC. The forward elbowed an opponent and refused to leave the field in a timely manner, and will face financial punishment for both the elbow itself and his reluctance to leave the pitch.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>This is Alba's second breach of the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/lionel-messi-fined-by-mls-for-post-match-incident-with-nycfc-assistant-coach-luis-suarez-inter-miami/blt24004babd7131fb4" target="_blank">MLS Disciplinary Committee guidelines</a> this season. The Spaniard was also fined in early March after putting his hands on the head of a Houston Dynamo player on March 2.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The left back will figure to be a part of Inter Miami's squad next Saturday when they take on the Columbus Crew in an Eastern Conference clash. <em>The Herons</em> are currently seventh in the East.</p>
