Seattle Sounders centre back Román Torres is now elegible for his team’s upcoming matchup with FC Dallas, after the Independent Panel rescinded the red-card suspension the kept him out of the fixture.
Torres was sent off in the 89th minute of Seattle’s last match against the Los Angeles Galaxy by referee Drew Fishcer. The team appealed the decision earlier in the week, appeal that resulted in the unaninmous overturn of the suspension.
“(We) put together a pretty strong presentation to the disciplinary committee,” Sounders head Coach Brian Schmetzer said. “We are appealing the red card because we don’t think it’s justified.”
Seattle will travel to Texas to face FC Dallas on Saturday in Frisco.
