Suzuki spoke to reporters after the game and said

I got him on the top of the helmet, it wasn't under his visor. He kinda took a weird run at me, I gave him a shot, a little scrum...I don't think I did anything that bad - probably the refs just trying to control the game & call a penalty

Although Captain Suzuki's behavior is undoubtedly disappointing, it's understandable that in the heat of such a crazy game, emotions can run high, and it's challenging to remain composed.
