He then scored twice in his next match, again off the bench, a 2-2 draw at Audi Field against D.C. Making his debut against the Chicago Fire on July 9, Hernandez came off the bench to register a goal in 28 minutes of play to help rescue a 3-2 comeback win on the road. Despite playing nearly half as many games as those players in front of him, Hernandez sits in 25th place in the MLS goal scoring charts this season. The Colombian striker has scored nine goals and registered two assists in his 15 MLS matches in 2022, 13 of which have been starts. Hernandez has been the Crew’s best attacking player since being purchased during the summer transfer window from Watford F.C. Cucho expressed immediate remorse for his unacceptable language choice and volunteered to apologize to the Timbers organization and participate in sensitivity training.” “We are disappointed that our player used disrespectful and offensive language directed to an opponent and we will take this as an opportunity to better educate our players and learn from this. “We understand the league’s ruling and fully cooperated to address the important matter as soon as it was brought to our attention,” club president and general manager Tim Bezbatchenko said in a statement. According to MLS’s announcement, “Hernandez was not provided with the league-mandated training on prohibited language that is required of all players upon arrival to an MLS team.” It is unclear what Hernandez said, who he said it to or at want point in the match the incident occurred. In that game with the Timbers at Filed, which ended in a 1-1 draw after Columbus allowed a stoppage time equalizer to the visitors, Hernandez is accused of saying something that the league felt merited a punishment. This means Hernandez will be unavailable for the Crew’s game against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Major League Soccer announced that Crew star forward Cucho Hernandez has been suspended for one game due to “offensive language,” which took place in the Black & Gold’s last match against the Portland Timbers. The Columbus Crew’s quest for an MLS Cup playoff spot is already difficult, but it became just a bit harder on Thursday.
