As Spain's goalkeeper SimΓ³n gathered the ball, MbappΓ© came in with a raised boot and caught him, and was cautioned. This is correct. Challenging a keeper who has the ball under control with a raised boot is a reckless foul, and recklessness is a yellow card. It does not reach a red β€” there is no excessive force or contact to a dangerous area β€” and it is too committed to be waved away with no card, so the yellow is the right level. CORRECT DECISION, medium confidence β€” it flips to a red only if a replay shows excessive force or a dangerous-area (e.g. head) contact.
