When most players play aggressively, they receive the benefit of the doubt if someone gets injured. After all, most players are not trying to hurt anyone while they play. But when a player builds a reputation for aggressiveness, it can cause them to lose the benefit of the doubt. That was seen Wednesday night with Orlando City forward Dom Dwyer.
In the 51st minute, Antonio Carlos sent a long ball toward the midfield. Dwyer went up for the ball with Inter Miami defender Andres Reyes. The two players battled for position and Reyes ended up flat on his back and remained down for about six minutes.
