Chivas captain Jair Pereira got a little too familiar with Sean Davis (which is a polite way of saying he grabbed the New York Red Bulls midfielder by the throat) in the first leg of his team’s 2018 CONCACAF Champions League semifinal against RBNY.
Red Bulls head coach Jesse Marsch told the team’s beat reporters he’d been impressed by the speed with which CONCACAF acted with regard to the incident (which the referee allowed to pass without comment), saying the confederation had already initiated a review before RBNY was able to file any sort of complaint.
