Two yellow cards in the same match equal a red card, which means the player is sent off immediately. That said, a straight red can also happen without any yellow cards first.

Quick rule

  • 1 yellow card = warning.
  • 2 yellow cards in one game = red card.

Important note

This only applies to two yellows in the same match ; yellow cards do not always “add up” across games to become a red in the same way.
