Actually the turkish player 'only' got a yellow card, but he had already recieved one earlier - so 2 yellow => 1 red.

But the penalty was a gift - the offence was clearly committed outside the penalty-area.

Makes you wonder if Uruguaian forward Recoba was right, when he said that he feared that France would be favoured in their upcomming match, because noboby wanted to see the 'big' nations eleminated during the group stage of the competition - after all both Spain and Brazil have had penalties gifted to them already.
