Inter Miami’s Jordi Alba fined by MLS Disciplinary Committee

The play was reviewed under MLS Disciplinary Committee Parameter 3, where the match officials see an incident, and do not issue a red card. Under this parameter, the MLS Disciplinary Committee shall issue either a one-match suspension on incidents in which the Professional Referee Organization (PRO) acknowledges an on-field Referee/Video Assistant Referee (VAR) error and the Committee is unanimous at red card and one match suspension or 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 and/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 clear and obvious simulation/embellishment.
