Monday Presser: Controversy Strikes the Impact
The Impact recorded their 11th loss of the season on Saturday on the road against Dallas. The game ended 2-0 and while Dallas may have gotten the better of the Impact on the scoreboard it wasn’t without the help of a very controversial call early on. In the 5th minute a very odd goal was scored but was called offside. The referee then spoke to the video assisted referee and Nima Saghafi, the referee, overturned his decision without reviewing the play for himself.
Where disappointment and possible anger may arrise is the reports that came out of the club this morning. Nicolas A Martineau of TVA Sports reported that the Impact was told that there was an error on the first goal scored by Dallas.
