Mistakes by referees are part of the game and while recent errors may have cost it some points, TFC just have to live with it.<\/p>\n

Nice job with your reporting of PRO admitting their mistakes. But it does leave me wondering what Toronto FC can gain from this. Will they be compensated in any way?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, Jase Kim, Toronto FC\u2019s technical video coach, told TFC Republic this past week<\/a> that the MLS club filed a complaint to PRO (Professional Referee Organization), the organization that oversees referees in MLS, with regards to two recent instances.<\/p>\n

In a 0-0 draw against CF Montreal<\/a> on July 16, Josh Sargent appeared to be fouled from behind by defender Brayan Vera inside the box as the DP forward attempted to latch onto a pass from Alonso Coello. No penalty was given and coach Robin Fraser said later on that the play wasn\u2019t reviewed by VAR.\u00a0<\/p>\n
