NEW YORK - The MLS Disciplinary Committee has found Philadelphia Union forward Julián Carranza guilty of failure to leave the field in a timely manner in the 71st minute of the Union's match against CF Montréal on March 5. Carranza has been fined an undisclosed amount for his actions.
The MLS Disciplinary Committee has found Portland Timbers defender Claudio Bravo guilty of failure to leave the field in a timely manner in the 62nd minute of Portland's match against the Los Angeles Football Club on March 6. Bravo has been fined an undisclosed amount for his actions.
Austin FC have been found in violation of the Mass Confrontation Policy during the 41st minute of their match against Inter Miami CF on March 6 (Watch Video). Austin will be issued an official warning for its first violation.
The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended Toronto FC defender Carlos Salcedo for one match and issued an undisclosed fine for serious foul play in the 60th minute of Toronto's match against the New York Red Bulls on March 5.
The play was reviewed under MLS Disciplinary Committee Parameter 3, where the match officials see an incident, and do not issue a red card on a case of clear and obvious simulation/embellishment that meets the conditions for suspension. Under Parameter 3, the MLS Disciplinary Committee shall issue either a one-match suspension on incidents in which the Professional Referee Organization acknowledges an on-field Referee/Video Assistant Referee (VAR) error and the Committee is unanimous at red card and one match suspension and action taken; or, the MLS Disciplinary Committee shall issue a two or more match suspension on incidents in which discipline warrants at least a two-match suspension.
The incident in question must be, in the unanimous opinion of the Committee from all available evidence: a clear and unequivocal red card; and egregious or repeat behavior in nature, and/or such that the MLS Disciplinary Committee must act to protect player safety or the integrity of the game; and/or clear and obvious simulation.
Salcedo will serve his one-match suspension on March 12 against Columbus Crew SC.
