Immediately after a yellow card for Roger Martinez in the 32nd minute of the match at the Estadio Azteca, Solari rushed onto the pitch and towards referee Oscar Mejia Garcia, who showed him a straight red.

Earlier reports pointed to a longer suspension for Solari, but Tuesday’s decision by the Mexican Football Federation’s disciplinary committee upheld a one-game suspension for the former Real Madrid manager.
The move marks the first time Solari has been suspended in Liga MX. Alongside him, Martinez will serve a one-game suspension after receiving a second subsequent caution in the game against The fringe.
Earlier on Tuesday, Club America also parted ways with centre-back Emanuel Aguilera, with the Argentine defender joining Liga MX titleholders Atlas.
