[quote=Anonymous][quote=SoccerRef][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw an attacking player foul the defender who had successfully shielded the ball.  The defender fell as a result of the foul and ended up with the ball trapped under his body.  The ref blew his whistle, but the attacker continued and kicked the ball hard right into the defender.  Should this have been a red card?[/quote]

If you are kicking the ball and not the other player, its not a redcard offence. The ref  could easily also have called a foul on the defender with the ball trapped under the body. I wasn't there, didn't see it, but this doesn't sound like an automatic anything.[/quote]

It was caught on film here: https://twitter.com/bigpapisruji/status/1452322353359335425

Let me know what you think.[/quote]

In the game itself, Ronaldo received a yellow for that. General consensus of refs that I've seen give it about 50/50 yellow/red. 
If I see that in any youth game, it's a red for violent conduct.

If it’s Ronaldo it’s a yellow. If it’s Joe Smith from Burnley it’s a red card. If it’s a kid, it’s a red. It was the malice that makes it a red. Get the punk off of the pitch. [/quote]
