The red card - the ultimate consequence for a footballer's mistakes. When a player is shown the red card, it's like a referee's stern warning: "You've gone too far, and now you must face the consequences." With a red card, a player is immediately ejected from the game, leaving their teammates to battle on with one fewer player.

Why does a player get a red card? Perhaps they tackled an opponent from behind with reckless abandon, or lashed out in anger with a punch or kick. Maybe they spat in disgust at an opponent or someone else on the field. Or perhaps they denied a goal-scoring opportunity, snatching victory from their opponents' grasp. And sometimes, a player simply accumulates too many yellow cards, and the referee has no choice but to show them the red.

When a player sees red, they must leave the field immediately, their game over. Their team must soldier on, a player down, and often at a significant disadvantage. The red card is a harsh reminder that football is a game of rules, and those who break them must face the music.
