MLS Issues Disciplinary Committee Decisions for Week 23
August 13, 2015 - Major League Soccer (MLS) News Release
NEW YORK (August 13, 2015) - The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended New York Red Bulls defender Damien Perrinelle for two games and issued an undisclosed fine for his violent conduct that endangered the safety of an opponent in the 64th of the Red Bulls game against New York City FC on August 9.
Parrinelle will serve his two-game suspension during the Red Bulls' next two matches: Saturday, August 15 against Toronto FC and Wednesday, August 26 against the Chicago Fire.
In addition, on August 8, San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Fatai Alashe received a yellow card for unsporting behavior in the 43rd minute of the Earthquakes match against the Houston Dynamo. Upon review, the MLS Disciplinary Committee has determined that the offence was a serious foul play that endangered the safety of his opponent. While Alashe received a second yellow card in the 60th minute of play, and was therefore issued a red card, the Disciplinary Committee has determined that Alashe should serve a one-game suspension, total, and pay an additional undisclosed fine for the serious nature of the 43rd minute foul.
Alashe will serve his one-game suspension during San Jose's next match, Friday, August 14 against the Colorado Rapids.
