It's still a straight red if the defender deliberately takes out the player (a professional foul). If they make a true attempt at the ball and just misjudge it then it's only a yellow.
The question is which is the case here. I'm not sure.
Day 18: Russia-Spain, Croatia-Denmark

Hope Jorgensen scores the winning penalty now just for the pure banter.
Christ, the ref's haircut is worse than Sergio Ramos'.
This is a joke, please say it is a joke.
Of course they can still do the double punishment red and pen. Only if the player is trying to play the ball yellow is the correct call. In this case no chance at all to reach the ball just a tackle to prevent the clear goal and by that clear red for me
He has to do it, no choice, 20% chance of saving a penalty beats a free shot at an open goal. You do it even if it is a red at that point.
It'd be great right?
Wtf are you talking about
I don't think it is. It's a world cup! Why wouldn't he?
The two statements I said are separate. Handballs stopping obvious goals. Tackles that make no attempt to get the ball.
Peter is absolutely bricking it in the stands
Ericson to miss this
Schmeichel will be the hero here
Daft how thats not a red.
Anyway will be massively surprised if Croatia win this now.
Favoured Denmark even before the penalty, massively favour them now.
Not sure if Croatia even got 5 decent penalty takers on the pitch with Mandzukic and perisic off

No way Denmark don't win this
It was an attempt to get the ball so not a red card.
Is he not making mobile phones?
From the sounds of it two decent keepers from the spot.
Goal!
That would be a pisstake.
I don't enjoy watching Denmark's crap football. Is that clewr enough for you?
Great save
Knew it!!!!
Wow.
Kasper who?
Eriksen miss.
Spurs players gonna spurs
Woah, Kane, what a miss.
He looked so nervous, everything wrong.
You could tell from the run up he was missing that.
Eriksen
Advantage crow asia
Great save
His poor game continues
Off his line, seriously ref?
I'm sure selling DDG was a joke. But if we didn't have him I'd be very happy to go for Schmeichel. He's obviously not as good as his old man, but he's still very good in his own right. Other than DDG and Courtois (on a good day) he's probably the best in the league.
Denmark miss the first.
Ericckkkhhsssooon
