In the 13 minutes following the failed penalty kick for the Senators, Cesar Matteo Ghezzi received a yellow card and then a red card for a second yellow, which saw the visitors reduced to 10 men in the 85^th minute.
 
Davis & Elkins received another red in the 88^th minute, as Pedro Bassin Nunes was sent off for a hard-missed slide tackle.
