TORONTO -- Toronto FC midfielder Collen Warner and Montreal defender Victor Cabrera have received suspensions for violent play.

The MLS disciplinary committee on Friday suspended Warner two games and fined him for violent conduct after taking down Dominic Oduro in Toronto's 2-1 win last Saturday.

Oduro had dribbled past a prone Benoit Cheyrou, prompting Warner - seemingly upset that the referee had not stopped play to allow treatment for his injured teammate - to take him down.

Cabrera was suspended one game and fined for a sliding tackle from behind on Jozy Altidore.

Also, L.A. defender Leonardo was fined for failing to leave the field in a timely/orderly matter, Chicago's Matt Polster was fined for actions involving a fan and Philadelphia's Cristian Maidana's three-game suspension for spitting was reduced to two games.
