Real Salt Lake forward Joao Plata was fined “an undisclosed amount” by Major League Soccer after being found guilty of “simulation/embellishment” in the team’s most recent game, the league announced Friday.
Plata’s infraction occurred in the 79th minute of Wednesday’s 1-1 draw against Minnesota United. Video of the incident shows Plata falling to the ground on the left side of the goal as he attempts to dribble past a Minnesota defender. There appears to be minimal to no contact between Plata and the defender.
