       Yellows 11
       Reds 7 (Brazil Manager, Assistant Manager, and 1 coaching staff
       member all in same incident) + 4 players from Brazil
       Brazil had x2 players expelled after the final whistle.
       Lopez a 1st year FIFA ref, was a surprising option for a
       potentially spicy game like this. Lopez was brave and did her
       job !!

       I mean, flippin' heck, where to start! You'd be giving a lot of
       development to a 6-5 MDC report never mind a FIFA ref.
       Foul detection looked absolutely horrific all game, probably a
       few simple free kicks away from a steady evening. Complete
       absence of any type of proactive management.
       Not to excuse the behaviour particularly from the Brazil bloke
       who put his bib on the shoulder of the AR - unbelievably
       patronising and disrespectful - but the ref's performance seemed
       to be at least a significant contributory factor.
