Orlando City midfielder Cristian Higuita is no stranger to referee discipline. The Colombian has led Orlando in yellow cards in each of his — and the club’s — first two MLS seasons, and since 2015, no one in MLS has accrued more than Higuita’s 23 yellows entering last night’s match at San Jose (10 in 2015, nine in 2016, four already in 2017). The Lions’ midfielder currently finds himself on the brink of a one-game suspension should he pick up that fifth yellow in any of the next three matches.
Higuita has four yellows this season on 16 total tackles, a caution for 25% of his challenges.
