MLS Disciplinary Committee Decisions Announced
Published on August 24, 2022 under Major League Soccer (MLS) News Release
NEW YORK - The MLS Disciplinary Committee has found CF Montréal midfielder Matko Miljevic guilty of simulation/embellishment in the 87th minute of Montréal's match against the New England Revolution on Aug. 20. Miljevic has been issued a one-match suspension and fined an undisclosed amount for his actions. Miljevic will serve his suspension on Aug. 27 in Montréal's next match against Chicago Fire FC.
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. 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 a clear and unequivocal red card, egregious in nature, and/or it must act to protect player safety, and/or it must protect the integrity of the game, and/or clear and obvious embellishment.
The MLS Disciplinary Committee has found Toronto FC midfielder Federico Bernardeschi guilty of simulation/embellishment in the 90+ minute of Toronto's match against Inter Miami CF on Aug. 20. Bernardeschi has been fined an undisclosed amount for his actions.
