RE: [nas] Salvadoran send off

I'm pretty sure that he got the first yellow from a tackle on Convey around the 10th minute, and then got his second yellow for a waist high tackle on Beasley.  I think the argument from the coach was that he didn't feel the 2nd foul should've been a yellow card, but I'm almost positive both yellows were from fouls committed during play.

 

From USSF:

Misconduct Summary:
SLV – Denis Alas (caution)                8th minute.
USA – Bobby Convey (caution)        18.
SLV – Denis Alas (caution)                26.
SLV – Denis Alas (ejection)               26.
USA – Conor Casey (caution)            49.
SLV – Alfredo Pacheco (caution)       57.

 

I'm pretty sure the 8th minute caution was from his tackle/stamp on the foot of Convey, and the 2nd was when he want with his studs about waist high against Beasley..

P.S.  My question is:  Why no card to the goalkeeper for ES when he pretty clearly raised his boot on Beasley and gave him a nice cleat to the face..  He sure made it look like he tried to pull away, but he clearly lifted that foot to begin with to hit Beasley..

I definitely saw the second yellow card.  It was a good bit later -- maybe even a minute -- that the red came out.  Earlier, somebody mentioned that the ref may have pulled out the yellow without thinking and then realized it was the player's second yellow after a bit, hence the delay
