Yellow CardYellow Card
Definition
When it is shown
In some competitions, a yellow card may result in the player being sent off for a short period of time and then returning to play.
Other reasons
If the referee plays advantage for a yellow-card offence, the card must be shown when the game next stops. However, if the offence was stopping a promising attack (SPA), no card is shown, as the advantage allowed the promising attack to continue.
