VANCOUVER, BC - Vancouver Whitecaps FC requested a review of the red card shown to Kendall Waston in the 13th minute of last Saturday's 4-1 road loss to Atlanta United FC.
The send-off occurred following a play involving Waston and Atlanta defender Leandro González Pirez on an Atlanta free kick in the first half.
The appeal has been supported by the Major League Soccer Players Association.
An independent panel comprised of one member of US Soccer, one member of Canada Soccer, and one member of Professional Referee Organization will oversee the review of any player send-off appeal.
