The referee has stopped play and awarded a free kick for Team A. After that, a substitute from Team B enters the field of play without the referee’s permission and protests at the referee's decision. What action does the referee take?

Question

Accepted Answer

The substitute receives a caution (yellow card) for each offence (entering without the referee’s permission and showing dissent) and therefore is sent off (red card). As the offences were committed when the ball was out of play, play is restarted according to the previous decision (free kick for Team A).
