Orlando City SC filed an appeal for the red card issued to defender Rafael Ramos in the 36th minute of the Aug. 22 match against Toronto FC this week.
An independent review panel consisting of one representative from the U.S. Soccer Federation, one representative from the Canadian Soccer Association and one representative of the Professional Referees Organization (PRO), were not unanimous that the referee had made a serious and obvious error in the send-off.

As a result, Ramos will serve his one-match suspension and will miss Orlando’s next MLS match against the Chicago Fire on Aug. 29 at the Orlando Citrus Bowl (7:30 p.m. ET).
