PRO offers explanation of bizarre dropped ball sequence at the end of #RSLvHOU

The Professional Referee Organization (PRO) offered a little bit of insight into a head-scratching event late in Saturday's 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake in their weekly look at rules and interpretations for their Play of the Week.

Almost two minutes into stoppage time, referee Silviu Petrescu stops play to replace an apparent flat ball. Upon receiving a new ball, Petrescu orders for a dropped ball. Petrescu asks Dynamo midfielder Andrew Wenger to take the dropped ball and kick towards the Real Salt Lake goalkeeper, though it appears Wenger originally believes it should be the Dynamo's possession.
