At some point, we were going to have to talk about it. Might as well have the discussion about the red card now.
For starters, props to Alejandro Bedoya for finding Cory Burke on a beautiful long ball that gave Burke the opportunity to battle it out at the Fire’s 18-yard line. From there, let’s break down the confusion that resulted in a DOGSO and ejection for Chicago’s Wyatt Omsberg, leading to Kai Wagner’s point-earning goal.
There’s been plenty of controversy in the hours following the foul. Chicago called the foul “very soft,” while Jim Curtin says it’s a deserved red.
