Jakob Glesnes having a penalty overturned by video review in the Philadelphia Union’s season opener in Columbus last week was a major turning point in what ended up being a scoreless draw.
Glesnes was whistled for a foul on Pedro Santos in the 36th minute that was initially ruled a penalty but was overturned after the video review clearly showed that Glesnes made his initial contact with Santos outside the 18.
The question of whether Glesnes was the last man back and therefore in “DOGSO” territory for a red card is one raised by PRO (Professional Referees Organization) in an “Inside Video Review” video published on Saturday.
