Oftentimes, a player who receives a yellow card draws the ire of fans and teammates alike for putting their team in a precarious position. The hunch here is that Sam Kerr's most recent booking will be met with a much warmer reception.

Kerr was booked for the offense, but the game continued, ending in a scoreless draw. The result preserved Chelsea's spot atop the Group A table, while Juventus is in a tie with Wolfsburg for second place through five games.
