Having reviewed the circumstances of the player's sending off, the referee indicated that he is content with his decision and, in accordance with the Disciplinary Procedures, the Claim is dismissed automatically. In explanation of the referee's decision, the following definition of serious foul play as detailed in the FIFA Laws of the Game is provided: "Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play."
