• Rule no 2: Yellow card for an illegal celebration remains even if the goal is disallowed.
• Rule no 3: You can be sent out of the match before the match even starts this applies if you do something illegal on the day of the match like insulting a referee on your way inside the stadium, the referee can give you a red or yellow card.
• Rule no 4: The amount of players allowed to take penalty kicks in the shootout must be equal for both teams.This applies if a player from team A is given a red card during the match, after the match on a penalty shootout one player from team B should not be inside the field at centre circle where players who are about to take penalties stand.
• Rule no 5: A team could start a soccer match with seven players. This is the Minimum required players for a game to start.This also means that a a team could only receive 4 red cards in a match if the is a 5th red card in a team the match should be stopped. These red cards do not apply to substitute players, they can get as many red cards.
