Immediately following a yellow card for Roger Martinez in the 32nd minute of the match at Estadio Cuauhtemoc, Solari rushed onto the field and towards referee Oscar Mejia Garcia, who showed him a direct red.

Earlier reports emerged regarding a longer suspension for Solari, but Tuesday's decision from the Mexican Football Federation's disciplinary committee confirmed a one-game ban for the former Real Madrid coach.

The decision marks the first time that Solari has been suspended in Liga MX. Alongside him, Martinez will serve a one-game suspension after receiving a subsequent second yellow in the match against La Franja.

Earlier on Tuesday, Club America also parted ways with central defender Emanuel Aguilera, with the Argentine defender joining Liga MX title-holders Atlas.
