Wil Trapp and Tony Tchani each were issued a yellow card in Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The pair of midfielders each have four cautions and can avoid a yellow-card suspension if they play three consecutive matches without being booked. Tchani has started all 10 contests while Trapp (nine starts) returned to action last weekend following a one-match suspension for a red card at Sporting KC on May 4. Per MLS Competition Rules and Regulations, “When one yellow card away from being suspended for caution accumulation, if a player appears in three consecutive games without receiving a yellow card or disciplinary sanction, the player will have one yellow card expunged. A player may take advantage of the ‘Good Behavior’ incentive only once throughout the season.”
