Suarez approached 20-year-old midfielder Obed Vargas, and grabbed him in a headlock, which led to Seattle players coming to separate the pair. Suarez was visibly annoyed, and he began to argue with opposition players as Vargas began to laugh and celebrate more. Sergio Busquets came running to intervene, but ended up punching Vargas on the face, who fell to the ground, and it triggered a massive brawl between both teams.
