Clint Dempsey was shown a red card after ripping up the referee's notebook during extra time of the Seattle Sounders' loss to the Portland Timbers in the US Open Cup.

Dempsey had already been shown a yellow card for arguing, but further lost his cool when teammate Michael Azira was shown a red card for a challenge on Portland’s Gastón Fernández in the 112th minute with Seattle trailing 2-1.

“Our guys played like lions and left their hearts on the field, and they got robbed,” Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. “Caleb [Timbers coach Porter] said last year at the end of the [cup] game that it was the worst refereeing performance he had ever seen. I think it was topped this year.”
