It very well may not have influenced the ultimate outcome, but Roman Torres’ 89th minute red card was arguably the most maddening moment of a match filled with them.
Torres made a herculean effort to catch Jermaine Jones from behind and then appeared to cleanly disrupt the play only to see referee Drew Fischer reach into his back pocket and show a red card. It went into the book as “Denial of a Goal Scoring Opportunity” despite Chad Marshall getting himself into position to make a play. Even more frustrating is that Fischer never felt compelled to take a closer look at the play through VAR.
