Nicolas Lodeiro will not be suspended any additional games for his kick out on Marcelo Sarvas late in the Seattle Sounders’ come-from-behind win over D.C. United on Wednesday. He was very lucky.

In case you needed a reminder, this was the play that got Lodeiro sent off.

Sarvas clearly instigates the situation, pushing Lodeiro down and then kicking the ball into him.
