Orlando City Defender Rafael Ramos’ Red Card Overturned by Independent Panel

Ted Unkel was wrong, said the Independent Panel, unanimously.

Rafael Ramos’ red card shown in the 26th minute of Orlando City’s 0-0 draw Sunday night against the Chicago Fire has been overturned. Ramos will not be fined and is available for the Lions’ next match. The Independent Panel consists of one representative each from the United States Soccer Federation, the Canadian Soccer Association, and the Professional Referees Organization.

The story was first published by Alicia DelGallo of the Orlando Sentinel and shortly thereafter confirmed by both the club and Major League Soccer.
