The game between Manchester United and Brentford went into extra time after neither side was able to score, though Brentford had a goal disallowed for offside in the last minute. The match proceeded to a penalty shootout, during which Manchester United’s goalkeeper, Onana, received a booking for arguing with the referee. Despite accumulating two yellow cards during the game, Onana was allowed to continue playing.

Manchester United secured the win after Ben Sheaf missed his penalty. The IFAB rule 10.3 states that bookings do not carry through to penalty shootouts. Aston Villa also encountered a similar situation in their Europa Conference League match against Lille, where their goalkeeper Emi Martinez received a second yellow card during the shootout.

Martinez’s suspension for the first leg of Villa’s semi-final demonstrates the consequences of accumulating bookings. He expressed confusion about the rules, citing an incident during the shootout where he was booked for requesting a ball. He admitted to not understanding the rules, highlighting the need for clarity and education on the regulations in football.
