The Union lost at Atlanta United, 3-1, on Saturday, in a game that was marred by two Union red cards after Atlanta got a questionable penalty kick in the 18th minute
Josef Martínez drew the penalty by making the most of light contact from Auston Trusty. Union players swarmed referee Auston Trusty to protest the contact. They also claimed Martínez was offside when he was set loose toward goal.
But replays shows Martínez wasn’t offside, having been kept onside by Haris Medunjanin far from the play. And more importantly, referee Sorin Stoica wasn’t having the protests. He gave Bedoya a yellow card for dissent, the Union captain’s second booking of the game after an 11th-minute tactical foul.
