| Reason |
|
This is a tactical "Reckless" challenge. it deserves a Direct Free Kick for the Tripping and a Caution for Unsporting Behavior. The evidence that this tackle did not incolve contact with the ball is the bath of the ball after the challenge. Recognize that the ball continues in a straight line after the tackle.
