Premier league has announced Why Andre Onana was NOT sent off despite being shown two yellow cards in Coventry win
Even though Andre Onana got two yellow cards, he was able to stay on the field as Manchester United beat Coventry 1-0 in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Onana was given a yellow card for wasting time with five minutes left in the game. Coventry then scored an amazing equalizer in extra time. That sent the game into extra time, but neither team was able to win. In the very last minute, a goal for the Championship team was called offside.
After the penalty shootout, Onana got a yellow card for arguing with the judge, Robert Jones. Even though Onana got two yellow cards, he was still able to play. United won in the end because Ben Sheaf’s spot shot went over the bar.
IFAB rule 10.3 says that bookings do not carry over to penalty shootouts, so Jones did not do anything wrong. As per the rule, “yellow cards and warnings from the game do not carry over into penalties.”
“A person who got a red card during the game can’t play again.” A player, a replacement, a player who has been replaced, or a team official can get a red or yellow card during penalties.
Onana will also not be banned for the FA Cup final, which will be played between Manchester United and their fierce foes Manchester City. The FA stated this. The same thing happened when Aston Villa beat Lille in the Europa Conference League on Thursday.
Emi Martinez, the goalkeeper for Villa, got a second yellow during the shootout after getting a yellow a few minutes earlier. but Martinez will miss the first game of Villa’s semi-final because he broke the rules. The Argentine player admitted that he didn’t know what the rules were.
“My whole career has been a wild ride.” “Today was my fate because I believe in God and work hard,” he said on TNT Sports.
“I’ve always said that I owe my teammates in those situations. Even last night when we were watching Real Madrid, the boss said that we might have to go to penalties, and that’s when I own my box.”
“I get a yellow card after 30 minutes, and we’re already behind, so I don’t understand what the ref wanted from me.” I asked the ball boy for a ball during the shootout because there wasn’t one on the penalty spot. That’s when I got a yellow card. “I don’t get the rules.”
