If you had to guess that two Philadelphia Union players would be sent off in the 19th minute against Atlanta United on Saturday night, chances are you would never have guessed it would be Alejandro Bedoya and Haris Medunjanin.
For good reason.
The veteran duo had only combined for one red card between them in more than 500 career appearances heading into the game at Mercedes Benz Stadium. That came in November 28, 2015 when Bedoya was playing for Nantes in Ligue 1 and was sent off for a second yellow card in second-half stoppage time in a scoreless draw with Bastia.
