Montreal Impact star Ignacio Piatti suspended after bad foul

MLS has suspended Montreal Impact star midfielder Ignacio Piatti one match for a foul against the Portland Timbers on Wednesday.

Piatti brought down Alvas Powell from behind with a two-footed challenge in the 18th minute.

He received a yellow card on the play, but referee Allen Champan later said after reviewing replays that a red card "was warranted."

But Piatti stayed on the pitch and equalized for Montreal and the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
