In soccer, how many yellow cards does a player receive in a single match before being shown a red card and sent off?
Show answer
Two
A second yellow card automatically results in a red card, meaning the player is ejected. The team must then continue the match with one fewer player, as no substitution is allowed for a sent-off player.
