Player Shown First-Ever Green Card In An Italian Serie B Match
No player wants to receive a yellow or red card during a match — what they do want now is a green card. What’s a green card? A green card is given to a player to reward them for their good sportsmanship and other acts of virtue on the pitch. Chivalry is alive and well.
Green cards can be earned for such actions as stopping play when a player is injured, helping the referee make the appropriate call or admitting to diving.
