After Sporting Kansas City’s 1-0 loss to Real Salt Lake on MLS Decision Day, Manager Peter Vermes addressed media about a non-call handball on the following play in the 89th minute:
The no-call starved Kansas City of the chance for a penalty kick to go up 1-0 to possibly gain the win and the full three points to crown them regular season Western Conference Champions with the first-round bye and a spot in the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League.
Vermes was rightfully vocal at what was a clear failure of the VAR system.
