MLS Punishes Players

NEW YORK (Tuesday, May 17, 2022) - The MLS Disciplinary Committee has found Inter Miami CF defender Damion Lowe guilty of inappropriate gesture in the 45th minute of Miami’s match against D.C. United on May 14 (WATCH VIDEO). Lowe has been fined an undisclosed amount for his action.

The MLS Disciplinary Committee has found Houston Dynamo FC defender Adam Lundkvist guilty of failure to leave the field in a timely manner in the 35th minute of Houston’s match against Nashville SC on May 14 (WATCH VIDEO). Lundqvist has been fined an undisclosed amount for his action.

The MLS Disciplinary Committee has found Austin FC midfielder Daniel Pereira guilty of failure to leave the field in a timely manner in the 47th minute of Austin's match against Real Salt Lake on May 14 (WATCH VIDEO). Pereira has been fined an undisclosed amount for his action.

The MLS Disciplinary Committee has found Colorado Rapids defender Lalas Abubakar guilty of simulation/embellishment in the 30th minute of Colorado's match against LAFC on May 14 (WATCH VIDEO). Abubakar has been fined an undisclosed amount for his action.

The Independent Review Panel, consisting of one representative from the U.S. Soccer Federation, one representative from the Canadian Soccer Association, and one independent representative nominated by the Professional Referee Organization, has denied the Houston Dynamo FC's appeal of the red card issued to defender Adam Lundkvist for serious foul play in the 35th minute of Houston’s match against Nashville SC on May 14.

As a result of Houston's denied appeal, Lundqvist is not eligible to play in Houston’s next match against the Seattle Sounders FC on May 18.

Each club is entitled to two unsuccessful appeals per season, including the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Since this is the Houston Dynamo's first unsuccessful appeal, the club has one unsuccessful appeal remaining for any future dismissals on the 2022 season.
