Under which four situations can a referee show a red card to a player?

Answer 1

A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off and shown the red card if he commits the following offences:

1. A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball (from the front, from the side or from behind by using one or both legs), when it is in play.
2. Violent conduct may occur either on the field of play or outside its boundaries, whether the ball is in play or not. A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent, a teammate or any other person, when not challenging for the ball.
3. Using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures.
4. Receiving a second caution in the same match.
