Two Yellow Cards But Not Sent Off

[Ken4155]

Aston Villa won through to the next round via a penalty shoot -out. Having already received a yellow card in the 2nd half for time wasting, received another yellow during the penalty shoot-out, but was allowed to remain on the pitch and save the last penalty, earning Villa a spot in the next round. 

Everyone was puzzled, including  the commentator and co-presenter who asked; had the ref showed Martinez the 2nd yellow purely as a warning? Had he forgotten he had already booked him? What the blazes is going on???

Turns out that there is a law, IFAB Law 10, which outlines that all yellow cards are re-set in a penalty shoot-out. Whodathunkit?

Interesting, I didn't know about this law.

Yes I remember now, listening to it on the radio. I think there were so many bookings in that match he lost the plot!
