It may have been, but when a player already has a yellow on him, it’s a very valuable tool for the ref. It’s far easier to say it was a poor tackle deserving of a yellow card than to say it was serious foul play deserving a straight red. Either way, the player is gone. At this level, a yellow-red or a red wouldn’t affect any discipline proceedings; they’d just look at the tape.
