NEW YORK, NY (Wednesday, March 25, 2015) – Last week, Toronto FC filed an appeal for the red card issued to defender Justin Morrow in the 45th minute of the March 14 game against Columbus Crew SC (VIDEO).
An independent review panel consisting of one representative from the U.S. Soccer Federation, one representative from the Canadian Soccer Association and one representative of the Professional Referees Organization (PRO), were not unanimous that the referee had made a serious and obvious error in the send-off.
As a result, Morrow will serve his one-match suspension and will miss Toronto’s next match against Real Salt Lake on March 29 at Rio Tinto Stadium (FOX Sports 1, 7 p.m. ET).
