In an interview with ESPN FC yesterday, Peter Walton, head of the Professional Referees Organization (or PRO), admitted that the New York Red Bulls should have had two penalties called in their game against the L.A. Galaxy.
Walton, a former English Premier League official, stated in the interview that head official Hilario Grajeda and his team missed both of the Red Bulls' potential penalty calls in the dying moments of the game.
First, Brian Rowe charged out to collect a through-ball from Mike Grella only to bundle into Alex Muyl, taking him down and getting none of the ball in the process.
