NEW YORK (October 5, 2022) – The Independent Review Panel, consisting of one representative from the U.S. Soccer Federation, one representative from the Canadian Soccer Association, and one independent representative nominated by the Professional Referee Organization, has denied FC Cincinnati’s appeal of the red card issued to forward Sergio Santos for violent conduct in the 90th minute of Cincinnati’s match against Chicago Fire FC on Oct. 1.
As a result of Cincinnati's denied appeal, Santos is not eligible to play in Cincinnati’s next match against D.C. United on Oct. 9.
Each club is entitled to two unsuccessful appeals per season, including the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Since this is Cincinnati's first unsuccessful appeal, the club has one unsuccessful appeal remaining for any future dismissals on the 2022 season.
