San Jose striker Jeremy Ebobisse claims to have heard a racist remark made by a Red Bulls player during the game on Saturday, although he has declined to reveal which player it was. The incident occurred in the 54th minute of the game and the MLS is currently investigating the matter. According to Ebobisse, his team almost walked off the field following the incident, which resulted in an additional 21 minutes of added time. Speaking after the game, Ebobisse stated that he believed the racist remark was not directed at him, but he was certain that it had been made.

The MLS has yet to release an official statement on the matter, but it is expected that the investigation will continue until all the facts are uncovered.
