The Seattle Times reported on Friday that Seattle Sounders forward Raul Ruidiaz was suspended and fined an undisclosed amount for violent conduct during Wednesday’s match against the Portland Timbers. He will miss Seattle’s next game against the LA Galaxy.
In the 54th minute of Wednesday’s match against the Timbers, Ruidiaz challenged Timbers defender Pablo Bonilla and fell to the ground after Bonilla fouled him. Ruidiaz appeared to kick Bonilla in the back of his left leg out of frustration, causing Bonilla to fall to the ground.
