The Houston Dynamo have requested an appeal of the red card issued to midfielder Tomás Martínez for serious foul play in the 59th minute of Wednesday’s match against the Philadelphia Union (VIDEO).
The Dynamo went down a man in their match against the Union after Martínez was sent off following a Video Review. After initially whistling for a goal kick after Martínez attempted to put a shot on target, the referee reviewed footage on the pitchside monitor and determined Martínez had committed serious foul play that endangered the safety of the opponent.
