Nicolás Lodeiro has been fined for embellishment/simulation that occurred during the 81st minute of Saturday’s game. The incident was reviewed on the field by referee Chris Penso for a potential red card infraction — Lodeiro shoved Artur a couple times — but ultimately decided that a yellow card was sufficient. Harrison Afful was also shown a yellow card, presumably for shoving Román Torres in the incident.
Although the MLS Disciplinary Committee did not elaborate on the reasons for fining Lodeiro and not Afful — who seems to have also made the most of minimal contact — the difference may have been that Lodeiro grabbed his face.
