Allan Saint-Maximin sent off after scoring for Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC forward Allan Saint-Maximin scored a goal and received a red card during a 4-0 victory against Orlando City in Major League Soccer.

Saint-Maximin extended his team's lead in the 49th minute with a long-range strike that beat goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau. However, his performance was marred by a missed penalty in the 84th minute and a subsequent dismissal.

In the 89th minute, referee Victor Rivas issued a direct red card to the French player following a VAR review. The decision came after Saint-Maximin made an obscene gesture toward defender Wilder Cartagena during an altercation. The player faces a minimum one-match suspension and may encounter further disciplinary action from the league committee.
