MLS fines Montreal Impact owner for misconduct against referees

Montreal Impact owner (and former dairy magnate) Joey Saputo may be feeling cheesed after being punished by Major League Soccer's Disciplinary Committee.

Saputo, alongside club vice president Nick De Santis and technical director Adam Braz, were fined an undisclosed amount Friday for their behaviour toward the referees in the club's first-leg match against the Columbus Crew.

The Impact weren't on the end of any major controversial calls, and won the first-leg fixture 2-1. The specific incident for the fine was not made public, either.

The two teams meet again Sunday for the second leg.
