Toronto FC was left fuming after a 1-1 tie at D.C. United on Saturday night.
D.C. pulled even on a 92nd-minute Wayne Rooney penalty at Audi Field. The penalty was called by referee Robert Sibiga after consulting video review, with Frederic Brilliant judged to have been pulled down on a corner.
But Toronto alleged that fullback Richie Laryea had been fouled in the buildup of the play.
“It’s a foul. It’s a simple call,” Toronto coach Greg Vanney told reporters after the game.
Toronto was also aggrieved that the home side was not called for a penalty in the 80th minute when substitute striker Ayo Akinola was bodychecked to the ground in the D.
