Italian referee Marco Maynardi scored the first green card in the history of football in the face of a player in the match that brought together the teams of Vicenza and Virtue Intella in the Serie B. Marco Maynardi lifted the green card in the face of Cristian Gallano, in recognition of his sporting spirit. The referee was told that the corner kick he scored for Vicenza in the 53rd minute was incorrect, because none of the defenders had touched the ball before leaving the court. The Serie A has announced the application of the green card, starting this season, and is rewarded to a player who shows a sporting spirit on the pitch.
