During the match between DJ Union and Fildelfia Union Acosta and Medunyain fought for the ball, as a result of which Medunyain fell, but immediately got up. Judge Sorin Stoyka unexpectedly decided to show Acosta a red card.
The decision was so amazing that even DiCi Alejandro Bedoya, in conversation with Acosta, seemed to be supporting him.
But Lautaro did not even have time to leave the field - thanks to the intervention Medunyainu. The arbitrator not only canceled the red card - he decided not even to give a yellow card.
"I approached the arbiter, he said:" Acosta kicked you ". I replied: "I do not think that there was a kick - in my opinion, the usual push. As for me, there was no red card, "Medunyain himself said after the game.
Also, Haris did not fail to mention the midfielder New York Red Bulls Felipe, who in the last round "drew" a red card for the player of Philadelphia Derrick Jones.
"I hope Felipe watched this match. Last week he could say the same thing. Oh well, no problem. I think you need to be honest. I did not feel a kick, it means there was just a push ".
Probably, karma smiled Medunyainu - in the 70th minute goalkeeper Union Andre Blake coped with a penalty from Lamar Nigla and helped his team to defend the victory 1: 0.
It is worth noting that 70 minutes in the Philadelphia field on the field was the ex-player Shakhtar Ilsinho.
After this match, Philadelphia bypassed just Di C United and climbed to the 9th place in the Eastern Conference of MLS.
