When does a referee show a red card in soccer?

When the ball goes out of play
When a player is cautioned
When a player is banned from the game
When a player is substituted

The correct answer is: When a player is banned from the game

A referee shows a red card when a player is banned from the game due to serious misconduct. This action indicates that the player must leave the field immediately and cannot be replaced, leaving their team with a numerical disadvantage for the rest of the match. The issuance of a red card typically results from offenses such as violent conduct, using offensive or abusive language, or receiving a second yellow card. Other options, like when a ball goes out of play, a player is cautioned (which would typically result in a yellow card), or during a substitution, do not warrant a red card as they pertain to different aspects of the game’s flow or discipline.
