UEFA rule changes kick in for Man Utd clash with LASK

The new amendment to Law 10 is that yellow cards and warnings will no longer be carried forward into the penalty shoot-out.

This applies to all players but is particularly relevant to goalkeepers, who face more scrutiny now due to VAR.

“According to IFAB and according to the Laws of the Game, the kicks from the penalty mark are not part of the match,” said Rosetti. “It’s just a way to determine the winner of the match.

“So, [at the moment] if the goalkeeper has a yellow card from the match – from the match or from extra time – and then encroaches in the kicks from the penalty mark, of course, then he must be sent off.

“This would be more likely to occur now with VAR, and the goalkeeper can be penalised more than other players. We think that this is a good, important change.”
