PER NWSL Press Release – "The National Women’s Soccer League today announced that the Washington Spirit successfully appealed a red card issued to goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury following an incident in the first minute of second half stoppage time during the club’s match against Seattle Reign FC last Sunday.
The club’s appeal was successful after review by the league’s Independent Review Panel determined that Kingsbury had not denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. As a result, all disciplinary actions have been rescinded."
So yes. Here's more about what happened:
During their first-week match with Seattle Reign FC, Kingsbury was sent off (red card issued) in the second-half extra time because she handled the ball outside the penalty area.
To this viewer's eyes which had the "benefit" of the same camera angles the referee had from VAR, not only wasn't it an "obvious goal-scoring opportunity" the reason a card was issued, it wasn't even clear the ball was entirely outside the penalty area. (you know, that place where a goalkeeper can no longer use their hands?)
Law 12 of the Laws of the Game, describes all the ways a player can be issued a red card or "sent off" in further detail. When a player is sent off the result is that team must play a person down, so 10 on 11 in the case of this match for the final few minutes. (Neither team scored during the rest of that extra time.)
Importantly for a newer fan to the sport, a red card isn't always issued for what we might consider an obvious reason, fighting, an egregious foul, whatever. Sometimes, it might occur because your body is moving one way and the ball another.
Now, it's just like that red card was never issued and Kingsbury will not have to sit out the next match.
