  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Guzman issued an apology just days after the match against Monterrey – a 3-3 draw. The 38-year-old missed the match due to injury, and was in a club-issued VIP suite when the antics occured.

  On top of his suspension, he's been handed an undisclosed fine and will also undertake community service.
