New York Red Bulls forward Patryk Klimala was handed a one-game suspension from the MLS Disciplinary Committee on Thursday for his actions in Saturday’s game against Charlotte FC.
On a play near the Charlotte goal late in the first half, Klimala appeared to drag his left foot across the face of goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina, who was on the ground making a save. Klimala was only given a yellow card on the play.
Klimala, who was also fined an undisclosed amount, will be forced to miss Saturday’s game against Toronto FC. He is tied for second on the team with four goals and also has three assists.
Charlotte FC went on to a 2-0 victory over the Red Bulls, with Klimala playing 73 minutes.
