March 6 – CONCACAF has cleared LAFC defender Sergi Palencia of using discriminatory language towards Colorado Rapids defender Chidozie Awaziem in last month’s CONCACAF Champions Cup match.
The game was entering its final minutes with LAFC leading 1-0 when the game was stopped after Awaziem accused Palencia of using ‘hate speech’ towards him.
