Tigres goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán has been given an 11-game ban by the Mexican Football Federation following an investigation of “inappropriate conduct” by the player during Week 15’s Clasico Regio match against Monterrey.
Guzmán, who was injured and in the stands for the match that ended 3-3, was seen using a laser pointer towards Monterrey goalkeeper Esteban Andrada and later offered his apologies on social media a day after the event.

On Thursday, the FMF’s disciplinary committee announced that it would “sanction the player Nahuel Ignacio Guzmán Palomeque of Club Tigres with 11 suspension games, a financial sanction, and hours of community service, for the conduct shown during the match” that violated federation rules.
The FMF’s disciplinary committee announced on Monday that they received a formal complaint from Monterrey and would investigate the incident, which led to Thursday’s decision.
Additional fines were also given to both teams and Andrada after the Clasico Regio.
