MLS to use replay

-

Major League Soccer will begin using video review for all matches Aug. 5. MLS has been testing the system at matches throughout the first half of the season. The league announced Thursday that it would be implemente­d following the AllStar game in Chicago on Aug. 2. All matches will now include a video assistant referee, who will be allowed to review video to confirm calls in four situations: goals, penalty decisions, direct red cards and cases of mistaken identity. MLS and the Profession­al Referees Organizati­on have worked to develop the video review system in accordance with procedures set forth by the Internatio­nal Football Associatio­n Board.
