When Sporting Kansas City's Dom Dwyer was fouled in the box from behind by San Jose's Andre Imperiale, referee Jair Marrufo and his crew missed the call. Later that day, Orlando City's Cyle Larin beat two New York Red Bull defenders to a ball before being scissor-kicked from behind by Karl Ouimette. Once again, no call. Referee Hilario Grajeda and his crew missed another obvious foul and penalty kick.
"These are game-changing calls and if we can get those right, I think it'd be a great thing for the league," said RSL coach Jeff Cassar, who would support instant replay if the league began using it.
