Rodrigo De Paul fined by MLS for a bizarre reason | OneFootball

Rodrigo De Paul received an unusual penalty from Major League Soccer for simulation! in the match that took place this Wednesday between Inter Miami and New York City, with a 4-0 victory for The Herons.

"The MLS Disciplinary Committee has fined Inter Miami CF midfielder Rodrigo De Paul an undisclosed amount for violating the Simulation/Exaggeration Policy in the 26th minute of Miami's match against New York City FC on September 24," reported the statement that exposed the punishment for the Argentine.

The organization of the tournament accompanied the ruling with the video of the indicated action, in which Lionel Messi's partner in the Argentina National Team is seen dramatically bringing his hands to his face after a back brace from Andrés Perea. At no time do the images detect any contact with the face of the former Atletico Madrid player.

To make matters worse, the midfielder fell on his back due to his simulation and hit his left shoulder, convincing referee Filip Dujic, who despite the protests of the Colombian-American, called a foul in favor of the pink team.
