After failed appeal, Toronto awaits disciplinary committee review of tunnel melee
TORONTO — After its failed appeal of Jozy Altidore’s red card, Toronto FC is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Major League Soccer confirmed Thursday that its disciplinary committee is reviewing the halftime tunnel melee Nov. 5 at BMO Field that led to the ejection of Altidore and Red Bulls captain Sacha Kljestan.
A decision was expected later Thursday or Friday morning.
This comes after a separate independent panel upheld referee Chris Penso’s decision to issue red cards to both players for violent conduct, rejecting appeals by both Toronto and the Red Bulls.
