The two late red cards felt like what a young/inexperienced team will do at times. The ref lost control of that game though too early for my liking. A lot of missed calls like the Sali one you mentioned.
Not a very good performance we’re lucky to escape with a draw.
They broke the press enough to have created more chances but were sloppy too many times
Real lack of composure at the end to get two late reds.
The referee should’ve given a red to St. Louis defender for taking down sali. It was excessively forceful and dangerous.
