Red Alert: What happens if a player from Ecuador is expelled before Argentina?
There are six tricolor players who reached the last double date of the qualifying tournament to the card limit: Moisés Caicedo, Félix Torres, Kendry Páez, John Mercado, Joel Ordóñez and Gonzalo Plata. What would happen in case they receive another admonition from Argentina?
As explained by article 10 of the FIFA Regulation, The yellow are deleted at the end of the qualifiers and will not be taken into account for the final phase -The World Cup itself- of the contest. However, The story is different in the case of an expulsion.
In the event that a tricolor player saw the red card tonight, he would be automatically discarded for the first game (or two, if the sanction were greater) of the World Cup which will be played next year in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Therefore, although yellow today will not be a risk, a red could be paid very expensive. The Colombian Wilmar Roldán will be the main judge of the party.
