Mere minutes after referee Silviu Petrescu awarded FC Dallas a penalty kick, the New England Revolution got one of their own. Was it right for Petrescu to point to the spot? Let's take a look.
The play in question starts with a corner kick that creates chaos in the box. The ball eventually falls to Lee Nguyen, who's denied a touch by Victor Ulloa. Nguyen jumps up due to the contact, leading to a PK. Nguyen then stepped up to the spot and easily beats goalkeeper Chris Seitz to give his team a temporary lead.
