Philadelphia Union forward Lionard Pajoy has been suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Soccer's disciplinary committee, in the wake of a hard foul committed on Toronto FC's Joao Plata this past Saturday.

You can watch video of the incident below. It got Pajoy a yellow card at the time.

The game that Pajoy will miss is the Union's June 16th home game against D.C. United.

    This is a blessing in disguise. Martinez and Mwanaga up front.

    After a sluggish start, Pajoy has started to show some real quality. I guess the good news here is we are sure to see Martinez get a start but with respect to Big Brains, I'm not sure about Mwanga. He didn't get any time at all against Rochester which could be an indication of just how upset the coaching staff is with his play. If Herdling, Jack Mac or Hoffman have a good week or two of training, we could see a completely new attack.

    Actually, the way Adu played, I wouldn't mind him up front with Josue.
