It was tough seeing Sporting Kansas City celebrate the 2017 US Open Cup Championship in the expense of the New York Red Bulls. Yes the match was played at Children’s Mercy Park and to be fair they were the better side.
But on an early moment of the match you saw something happen where referee Hilario Grajeda never saw the foul being done as all replays caught the deed being done by one of the players from the home side.
Diego Rubio kicked midfielder Felipe on the back of his right leg and got away with not only a foul, but a possible Red Card to send him off and put Sporting Kansas City in a perilous situation.
