In their weekly Inside Video Review segment on YouTube, PRO Referees’ Manager of video Review Greg Barkey breaks down several plays from Week 21 of the Major League Soccer season. The first play they reviewed was the Roger Espinoza red card from the game between Sporting Kansas City and New York City FC.
Espinoza was originally issued a second yellow card (his first yellow came in the 45th minute). However, after video review, the call on the field was changed to a red card. Since Espinoza had already left the field, referee Dave Gantar pulled over Sporting KC captain Matt Besler and explained the decision to him.
