Independent Review Panel Decision

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 the Houston Dynamo FC's appeal of the red card issued to defender Adam Lundkvist for serious foul play in the 35th minute of Houston's match against Nashville SC on May 14.

As a result of Houston's denied appeal, Lundqvist is not eligible to play in Houston's next match against the Seattle Sounders FC on May 18.

Each club is entitled to two unsuccessful appeals per season, including the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Since this is the Houston Dynamo's first unsuccessful appeal, the club has one unsuccessful appeal remaining for any future dismissals on the 2022 season.
