A player was cautioned (yellow card) for unsporting behaviour in the first half. During the second half, the same player commits a reckless challenge. The referee stops play, awards a direct free kick and the offending player shows dissent. What disciplinary action does the referee take?

Question

Accepted Answer

The player is shown a yellow card for the reckless challenge offence, then a red card and is sent off. The subsequent cautionable offence (dissent) should be included in the disciplinary report but a yellow card is not shown.
