Four players have been suspended after last week鈥檚 bad-tempered soccer match between the U.S. Men鈥檚 National Team (USMNT) and Mexico, which was marred by pushing and shoving between the two teams.

The contest was also ended about four minutes early following discriminatory chants from the crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The four players who were red carded during the match on June 15 have all been handed suspensions for 鈥渙n-field player misconduct,鈥 continental governing body Concacaf announced on Friday.

Mexico鈥檚 C茅sar Montes and USMNT鈥檚 Weston McKennie, whose shirt was ripped during a melee, have both received four-game suspensions, while Mexico鈥檚 Gerardo Arteaga and USMNT鈥檚 Sergi帽o Dest have been suspended for three games.

The suspensions include an automatic one-game ban and must be served during Concacaf national team competitions.

Tempers flared just before the 70-minute mark in the match as Montes kicked out at Folarin Balogun, resulting in a red card, before McKennie was also sent off for his role in the ensuing scuffle.

Then 15 minutes later, Arteaga and Dest were both shown straight red cards for pushing each other during another altercation between the two teams.

Concacaf also announced that a fine of an undisclosed amount had been imposed on both federations, who were warned that 鈥渕ore severe sanctions鈥 would be taken should other incidents occur in their upcoming matches.

CNN has contacted the US and Mexican federations for comment.

The USMNT won the match 3-0 and went on to win the Nations League title with a 2-0 victory against Canada three days later.

In the upcoming Gold Cup, the USMNT faces Jamaica in Chicago on Saturday and Mexico plays Honduras in Houston on Sunday.
