Retaliation always gets punished. Otherwise, what's the argument to be made? ... that Klejstan was going to kill him? and Jozy threw him against a wall in total self-defence cause his life was in danger? Not likely. You could see Jozy was steaming. Personally, i think the best outcome is that Jozy's red gets downgraded to yellow, and he is out one game. I don't even want to think that he could be out for the rest of the playoff run with a red for violent conduct.
Credit where credit is due, they had a game plan and it worked out (almost) perfectly for them. Act like thugs and hope the referee doesn't call the game closely. Look to get lucky with a bad bounce or two in the crappy weather. They got everything they wanted except for that second bad bounce.
