By Sean McCaffery, August 22, 2019

A pair of red cards reduced both teams to 10 players each, one for far less than Zlatan did in throwing an elbow by a black belt in tae kwon do? Aaron Long was on the receiveing end of that blow and another from Amarikwa just 4 minutes into the game as a late sub, he then had a questionable play on Luis Robles, leaving the GK with a lower leg, calf? injury. Tarek was cautioned, then ejected all within 11 minutes, it seems the 2nd yellow was for dissent, that led to Tom Barlow coming out and Tim Parker from Hicksville and St. John's to go in as the center back.
