This occurred Saturday in DC United vs. Inter Miami. Stuff like this is why I personally hate replay. Yeah, they "got it right" And yeah, MY team that I was rooting for, DC United, won 2-1 because of it. It's just surreal to me though. I mean, if you have to review something, at least blow it dead right away. All the stuff that "happened" vs. "never happened" just annoys me, That's just my opinion...
"...and seven minutes into the second half, Miami seemed to double the lead on Lewis Morgan’s deflected shot from 20 yards.
There was nothing controversial about Morgan’s goal, but a moment earlier and 70 yards away, Miami defender Roman Torres had gotten away with a handball in thwarting Julian Gressel’s run at the net.
In reviewing the entire sequence, the video assistant referee recommended referee Rubiel Vazquez take a closer look at the field-side monitor.
Vazquez not only disallowed the goal — because, had the handball been called, Miami wouldn’t have had the scoring opportunity — but he also issued a red card to Torres for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. Gressel was at Torres’s side and preparing to break free.
Morgan’s goal was disallowed, Torres was ejected, and the momentum swung radically.
A few minutes later, United’s Edison Flores drew a penalty kick and Yamil Asad converted."
