Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker flipped San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Sam Cronin with a hard (but legal) tackle in the 88th minute of Saturday's MLS matchup.
Cronin's teammates tried to argue to the referee, who watched the tackle happen right in front of him, but to no avail. Fortunately, Cronin was fine and able to continue for the final minutes of the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
