Yellow card confusion in European Championship match: UEFA admits mistake
Confusion during the European Championship match between Spain and Germany: Suddenly, a yellow card for Alvaro Morata was shown on TV. A mistake, as UEFA now admits. This means that Spain's captain is eligible to play in the semi-final against France.
It was an intense quarter-final duel between Spain and Germany. English referee Anthony Taylor showed 15 yellow cards. Only in the group match between Turkey and the Czech Republic had there been more cards (18).
However, one caution caused a lot of confusion on Friday evening. According to a TV broadcast, Alvaro Morata was shown a yellow card. The UEFA website also initially stated that Morata had been cautioned. However, the player himself told reporters after the game that he had not received a yellow card.
UEFA has now intervened and explained that this was a mistake. Morata was not cautioned and can therefore play in the semi-final against France.
Two defenders missing
However, two other Spaniards will have to watch on: Dani Carvajal was sent off with a yellow card against Germany. Alongside him, Robin Le Normand will also be suspended for the semi-final.
