Racing Louisville FC midfielder Ary Borges has been suspended for an additional three matches for pushing the center referee after a recent match against the Portland Thorns, where she had already served a one-match ban for a red card. The National Women's Soccer League's Disciplinary Committee deemed her actions as "major game misconduct," reiterating their zero-tolerance policy for abuse of officials. The match, notable for a record 41 combined fouls, ended in a 3-3 draw marked by controversial officiating decisions, including a key penalty awarded after video review that sparked criticism from players on both teams.
Borges stated on social media that bad officiating should not be tolerated at the league level, calling it 'a shame' and unfit for professional standards.
The NWSL's Disciplinary Committee emphasized their zero-tolerance policy for abuse of officials to maintain game integrity and expected conduct from participants.
