Heading into another key Western Conference match, the Seattle Sounders will not be without Roman Torres after successfully appealling to the Independent Review Panel about the 89th minute red card against the LA Galaxy. The Panel unanimously agreed with the Sounders — Torres did not commit a foul that should be considered DOGSO. The panel consists of a member of PRO, USSF, and the Canadian Soccer Association.
Torres is now eligible to play in Saturday’s match against FC Dallas.
Seattle won their appeal based on two key arguments, according to SoundersFC.
