However, the foul is designed to take away attacking options from the black team • The foul is committed tactically by the white player because many of her teammates are still in the penalty area as a result of the prior corner kick. The speedy counter attack is prevented, and her white teammates are able to get back on defense • The referee has options on this play however the recommendation is to lean toward a yellow card for unsporting behavior (a tactical foul)
