USL admits player remained on field after getting two yellow cards, offers no recourse

The USL has acknowledged that a player should have been sent off after receiving a second yellow card in Wednesday’s Sounders 2 match. While that may seem like grounds for some sort of replay of what turned out to be a 1-0 victory for Phoenix Rising, the only punishment handed down will be for the refs working the game to be suspended.

The incident in question happened in the 60th minute when Victor Vasquez was clearly shown a second yellow card. The announcers on the livestream immediately recognized it and the official box score even correctly identified him.
