الأوروغواي vs إسبانيا

In the dying minutes of Uruguay vs Spain (Uruguay losing 0-1), Cannobio launched a two-footed lunging challenge at full speed into a Spain player and was shown a straight red card. The decision is correct. Under Law 12, serious foul play is defined by the MANNER of the challenge — a lunge using one or both legs with excessive force or endangering the safety of an opponent — not by the outcome. A two-footed challenge at full speed endangers the opponent's safety the instant it is committed, so whether it made full contact, partial contact, or the opponent pulled away to avoid it is irrelevant. The fact that he "didn't fully hit" the Spaniard does not mitigate it. This is a clear sending-off for serious foul play. CORRECT DECISION, HIGH confidence.
