Why Martinez wasn't kicked out of the game even though he took two yellow cards, get to know the special rule

The Argentine goalkeeper received the second yellow card in penalty for his gestures against fans, but was not excluded from Judge Ivan Kruzliak even though he had received another yellow card in the 39th minute of the match.

Justice Ivan Kruzliak was not mistaken that he did not expel Martínez after he implemented a little familiar rule in football, rule no. 10 of the game regulation 2023/2024 published by the International Board (IFAB).

The “Set-up and cartoons given to players and staff members during the match will not be taken into account in the penalty throw”, the rule said.

For this reason Martinez continued to stand at the gate until the penalty outcome.
