Major League Soccer fined CF Montreal defender Joel Waterman an undisclosed amount Tuesday for failing to leave the field in a timely manner in last Saturday's match against D.C. United.
Waterman initially received a red card in the 55th minute for slide-tackling in D.C. midfielder Theodore Ku-DiPietro's direction from behind.
The foul was reduced to a yellow card after review by a video assistant referee, but only after Waterman stood on the pitch pleading his case to the officials for over a minute.
Montreal lost the match 1-0 courtesy of an 84th-minute winner from Pedro Santos.
Waterman, a 28-year-old Canadian international, has played 90 minutes in all five of Montreal's games this season.
Montreal plays the Seattle Sounders on Saturday to wrap up a season-opening six-game road trip.
