Tomas Martinez red card overturned by independent panel
It took less than 24 hours for the independent panel to overturn the controversial red card issued by referee Joseph Dickerson to Tomas Martinez in Wednesday night’s 3-1 loss against Philadelphia. Dickerson issued the card to Tomas Martinez in the 59th minute and effectively appeared to influence the outcome of the match.
The Houston Dynamo immediately appealed the card following the match and, just like a red card earlier in the season against Alejandro Fuenmayor was rescinded, the appeal was upheld.
