Vermes calls out refs after VAR decision: “100% it’s not a handball. No way.”

There were a lot of things that went wrong for Sporting Kansas City in their 4-4 draw against the New England Revolution on Saturday night. A LOT.

But one of the key moments of the match came in the 65th minute of the match, when head referee Baldomero Toledo awarded the Revs a penalty kick, saying Johnny Russell handled the ball in the box after video review.

The call was at a critical moment in the game and was a huge blow to SKC’s comeback effort. Sporting had just recently cut the deficit to one goal and was looking more dangerous in the attack than they had all game.
