Sporting Kansas City defender Jimmy Medranda will serve a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation after picking up his eighth yellow card of the season in Sporting KC’s 3-1 loss to the New England Revolution on Saturday.
Referee Alan Kelly issued Medranda a yellow card for a tactical foul on Kelyn Rowe in the 83rd minute of Saturday’s match. As a result, the Colombian defender will miss Sporting KC’s next match at Real Salt Lake on October 16.
In his third full season with Sporting KC, Medranda has set a career high in all categories including games played (27), games started (22), goals (1) and assists (2).
