Importance of red cards in football considering final outcome of the match and league system of competition

Based on 88 matches of 2014/2015 First Croatian football league we established the importance of red cards considering the final outcome of the match and the competition. Using Mann-Whitney test and Pearson correlation coefficient we concluded that red cards as situational efficacy indicators do not pose a statistically significant difference between the winning and the defeated team (p=0, 44), whereas there is a moderate negative relation to final placement in league system of competition (r=-0, 54). These results show that warning the player, especially in the case of a red card which disqualifies them, does not influence the match outcome itself, but there needs to be a control system throughout league system of competition.
