Timo Werner receives first career red card in MLS
German striker Timo Werner received his first career red card while playing for the San Jose Earthquakes in a match against the Colorado Rapids. The incident occurred in the 71st minute of the game, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Werner was sent off following a confrontation with referee Ramy Touchan while protesting a decision. Although the specific details were not fully elaborated on the club's official website, the dismissal followed an interaction where Werner reportedly touched the official and made a disparaging remark.
Despite the dismissal, Werner provided an assist for Reid Roberts' early goal. He currently holds a contract with the San Jose Earthquakes until the summer of 2028 and is helping the team maintain its position in the Western Conference playoffs.
