Klopas was dismissed from Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders for using language abusive to an official. Klopas acknowledged after Tuesday's training session that he did exchange words with the referee.

Anibaba was given a red card for his challenge in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time during that game. He was not carded on the field because after the challenge a melee ensued between both teams. The referee elected not to isolate Anibaba and issue him the red card, instead choosing to break up the post-game fight and get both teams off the field.
