via MLS Communications

NEW YORK (May 1, 2013) – The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended New England Revolution defender Chris Tierney one game and fined him an undisclosed amount for a reckless challenge that endangered the safety of his opponent, Philadelphia Union forward Sebastien LeToux, in the 90th minute of their game on April 27. Tierney will serve his suspension Thursday when New England plays at Portland Timbers FC.

I'm extremely disappointed in the DC decision to suspend me, I was attempting to make a clearance in the 90th minute of the game
