Any player picking up a red card is expelled from the pitch and automatically banned for his country's next match, whether via a straight red or second yellow. After a straight red card, FIFA will conduct a hearing and may extend this ban beyond one match. If the ban extends beyond the end of the finals (i.e. if a player is sent off in the match in which his team was eliminated), it must be served in the team's next competitive international match(es).
Least time difference between two yellow cards given to the same player: 5 minutes – Henry Medina – Honduras against Guatemala (Medina was booked in the 74th minute and again in the 79th resulting in his dismissal.)
Most cards in one match: 9 yellow cards and 1 red card – Honduras vs Mexico

Note: In this table the "Yellow" column counts only the first yellow card given to a player in a match. If a player receives a second yellow in the same match this is counted under "Second yellow". This second yellow is not counted as a "Straight Red".
