MLS match officials erred in allowing the Chicago Fire’s tying goal against D.C. United to stand Wednesday, a high-ranking referee administrator told The Post on Thursday.
Howard Webb, general manager of the Professional Referee Organization, said Francisco Calvo’s goal during stoppage time of the 3-3 draw should have been disallowed because he was offside.
Webb, a former Premier League and World Cup referee, blamed video assistant referee Geoff Gamble for not alerting head referee Armando Villarreal to a possible infraction.
“There is no doubt the VAR should have recommended a review,” Webb said.
