The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended New York Red Bulls forward Patryk Klimala for one match and fined Klimala an undisclosed amount for serious foul play during New York's match against Charlotte FC on Saturday, June 11.
The play was reviewed under Disciplinary Committee Parameter 3, in which officials see an incident, and do not issue a red card or act on a case of clear and obvious simulation/embellishment that meets the conditions for suspension outlined in Section VI.B.4.d. The Disciplinary Committee may review the play for further disciplinary action, over and above the mandatory suspension and fine. Under Parameter 3, supplemental discipline (suspension and/or fine) will be administered if the Disciplinary Committee believes the offense is egregious in nature, and/or it must act to protect player safety, and/or it must protect the integrity of the game, and/or the player is guilty of repeat behavior.
Klimala will serve his suspension during New York's match on Saturday, June 18 against Toronto FC.
