The match was however interrupted by an incident, reminiscent of the assault on Dimitri Payet, during the recent OL-OM: Just after the opening of the scoring by the New Yorker Valentin Castellanos (41st), and while the players congratulated each other, the Paraguayan Jesus Medina was hit in the head by a can of beer thrown from the stands. The player was able to resume the match and his attacker was arrested and immediately banned from the stadium by the Portland Timbers who hosted this 2021 final.
The stoppage of the game was very brief and the scenario ended up smiling in New York, despite the equalizer of Felipe Mora for Portland in the very last seconds of regulation time.
