Luis Suárez spits on opposing staffer after Seattle beats Miami 3-0 in Leagues Cup final

• Uruguayan striker lashed out at Sounders' Obed Vargas

• Seattle wins its ninth major honor since joining MLS

The Seattle Sounders defeated Inter Miami 3-0 in the Leagues Cup final on Sunday, and the time between the final whistle and the trophy lift offered eyebrow-raising scenes all their own.

Luis Suarez, who got into a few minor altercations but was frustratingly goal-less through the intense, physical match, took time after the final whistle to confront Sounders midfielder Obed Vargas. In that interaction, Suarez put his arm tightly around Vargas' neck before being pulled away by Sounders players as more players and staff from both teams joined the melee.
