The UEFA European Championship 2024 has seen some exciting action, and with the Round of 16 approaching, it’s important to understand the suspension rules. This article breaks down the rules regarding yellow and red cards, clarifying the implications for players and teams.
Andre Onana should have been sent off during Manchester United’s FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry, according to Jeff Stelling. Onana was booked during normal time and picked up an additional yellow during the penalty shootout, but according to the laws of the game, yellow cards picked up during the game are reset during a shootout. Stelling believes that Onana should have been shown a second yellow card for time-wasting after he went behind his goal and took a swig of water. Despite United ultimately reaching the FA Cup final, it’s hard not to feel they did so in an embarrassing fashion.
