Philadelphia Union Vs. Houston Dynamo Live, MLS Cup 2011: Brad Davis Gets Away With Penalty

The Philadelphia Union doesn't have much to complain about thus far. Things haven't gone their way, but almost all of it is their own doing. Hell, they're lucky not to be down a man considering Gabriel Farfan hit Danny Cruz in the head with his boot earlier, but they have a good reason to complain now. That's because it looked like Brad Davis got away with a handball five yards from goal that wouldn't have just been a penalty for the Union, but a card for Davis too.

The handball came off of a free kick that Sebastien Le Toux ripped at the near post. It appeared to hit the outstretched arm of Davis. The crowd certainly thought it was a handball as they moaned and the Union players thought so too, but Jair Marrufo, who has been terrible today, said no. One replay of the incident was shown and it appeared to confirm that it was a handball, but it wasn't the best angle and we never got another look at it.
