Due to their roles in the mass confrontation, FC Dallas defender Sebastien Ibeagha and Austin FC defender Julio Cascante, midfielder Owen Wolff, and forward c will be issued an undisclosed fine for inciting and/or escalating a mass confrontation.
What the heck did Ibeagha do to get singled out? There was enough stuff going on in that weird scrum that it’d take a few rewatches to figure out what all was happening, but I don’t think I ever even noticed him involved. I was too busy with Tafari’s jumping moose and Musa’s “keep yapping” hand.
I wondered it if was a case of mistaken identify.
