Overall, referee Lorant Varga did a good job in Sunday’s match between the Swope Park Rangers and Saint Louis FC. He communicated to the players, was fairly consistent in his calls and handed out of enough cards to keep tempers in the rivalry match from going out of control. He also did well in pushing the Rangers to not time waste when they had the lead.
Perhaps the case could be made for an earlier card or two but really there were two moments where he may have missed something. In both cases the angle he was observing from and the amount of other activity would have made it difficult to catch.
