Importance of yellow 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 yellow cards considering the final outcome of the match and the competition. Using Mann- Whitney test and Pearson correlation coefficient we concluded that yellow cards as situational efficacy indicators do not pose a statistically significant difference between the winning and the defeated team (p=0, 93), nor is there a relation to final placement in league system of competition (r=-0, 25). These results show that warning the players, especially in the case of yellow card which does not exclude them from the game, has no influence on the game outcome, but there is a need to control the mentioned segment of the game.
