Breaking down the Michael Bradley handball in Toronto vs Union

The Philadelphia Union’s tie to Toronto FC was wildly disappointing, as the second-place Union found themselves unable to earn three important points on the road against a team already eliminated from playoff contention. However, at the end of the evening, the Union’s loss wasn’t entirely chalked up to poor play, as some of the loss was attributed to poor officiating.

As the game reached the final minutes, Kacper Przybylko received a pass inside Toronto’s penalty area from Jamiro Monteiro and fired a shot toward goal. The ball then hit Michael Bradley, bouncing off his torso and then his hand.
