Canada coach Jesse Marsch was shown a direct red card during the second half of the Concacaf Nations League third-place match against the United States on Sunday.
Marsch was seen arguing a call in which official match official Katia Garcia denied a penalty after forward Tani Oluwaseyi appeared to have fallen without contact in the 18-yard box.
The Canada coach was also frustrated shortly before when no penalty was called as Tyler Adams and Canada's Jonathon David collided in the penalty area.
Shortly following the sending off, Canada took a 2-1 lead with a stellar goal from David in the 59th minute.
Earlier on Saturday, Marsch had complained about the officiating in the Concacaf region. Marsch had been in contention for the U.S. job in 2023, before the Gregg Berhalter returned to coach the Americans and Marsch took the job with Canada.
