Nearly everyone was back in action over the weekend following the international break. Only Houston and NYCFC were off in Major League Soccer during Week 5.
This weekend was more of the same around the league with a few interesting results, more red cards and plenty of talking points.
Teams seeing red
Count them up. A grand total of 16 red cards so far in MLS this season through five weeks of play. The number seems drastically high compared to previous years. Paul Carr from ESPN even stated that the current pace is set to shatter a previous record.
