Major League Soccer fines Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi after he strikes Philadelphia Union player Quinn Sullivan during the teams’ 2-2 draw. The incident occurs when Messi slaps Sullivan on the back of the neck.
Both outlets describe the same on-field moment and the league’s disciplinary action. Free Malaysia Today reports that Messi receives a fine for the incident. The Punch, which cites similar details, also says MLS penalizes Messi for striking Sullivan and notes the report includes further specifics of the disciplinary decision. The difference between the sources is limited to how they present the information, rather than the underlying facts of what happened or the outcome of MLS’s review.
