I am pretty sure that referees are granted some discretion when issuing match penalties though, especially if it was personal a safety issue. It replaced the concept of gross misconducts a few years ago. I am also pretty sure that they can add one on at the end of the game to the official score sheet thereby ensuring a review by the league (albeit making the ejection issue moot).
Maybe they did add one last night? I didn't check. If they though what Wideman did was intentional, they should have.
