CARSON, Calif. – Diego Chara was issued an undisclosed fine, but there will be no other developments from the controversial sequences that saw Jelle Van Damme ejected from the LA Galaxy’s 1-0 defeat to the Portland Timbers.
The MLS Disciplinary Committee ruled on Wednesday that Chara was guilty of simulation/embellishment for his action that led to Van Damme’s first yellow card in the 31st minute of Sunday’s game. The act of embellishment resulted in an undisclosed fine for the Timbers midfielder.
However, the league’s disciplinary body chose to not take any action against Timbers midfielder David Guzman.
