2. Serious foul play (e.g., a dangerous tackle using excessive force or endangering the safety of an opponent).
3. Denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) by deliberately handling the ball (except for a goalkeeper inside their own penalty area).
4. Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) by committing a foul outside or inside the penalty area without attempting to play the ball.
5. Using offensive, insulting, or abusive language and/or gestures, or receiving a second caution (yellow card) in the same match.
