A video review decision on a Jeff Larentowicz penalty was the difference maker in a 1-0 loss by FC Dallas on Wednesday night to Atlanta United. The loss snapped FC Dallas’ win streak at three games, while Atlanta earned their first win in six.
The two side struggled to get any quality chances on goal in the first half but shortly after the second half began, United pressed forward and forced an unfortunate situation on the Dallas defense in the 56th minute. A ball bounced off the arm of Matt Hedges and was cleared out but the video assistant reviewed the play and called a penalty that Larentowicz scored.
