Only a few minutes after earning and converting what turned out to be the winning goal, Seattle Sounders captain Brad Evans was sent off against the Vancouver Whitecaps for what referee Ricardo Salazar deemed an attempted headbutt on center back David Edgar. This is what Evans had to say, in full, about the incident:
“Corner kick comes in, Edgar’s pulling me back, it’s definitely a PK. So I get up, he says it’s not, he leans in, puts his head on mine. If you look at the replay, my mouth, I’m saying ‘you can’t do that’ and give him a ‘fuck off’ and a head gesture, never made contact with him.
