Orlando City striker Dom Dwyer suspended for LA Galaxy match
ORLANDO, Fla. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - Orlando City snapped a winless drought with a barrage of goals over the weekend, but the team will be without one of its stars for their next match on Friday against the LA Galaxy.
Striker Dom Dwyer got a yellow card in Sunday’s match against FC Cincinnati, which was his fifth yellow card of the season.
Dwyer had gone five-straight matches without a yellow before Sunday, which usually triggers a ‘good behavior’ incentive.
That incentive would reduce a player’s yellow card accumulation by one, but Dwyer also previously received what the MLS calls ‘supplemental discipline’ in a game against Montreal.
Dwyer now faces a one-match suspension.
