The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body has admitted a complaint by the Swedish Football Association and cancelled the yellow card shown to the Sweden Under-21 midfielder Rasmus Elm during last Friday's match against Italy.
Mistaken identity
The Swedish FA's protest related to the yellow card shown to Elm, Sweden's No18, for dissent after 33 minutes of the UEFA European U21 Championship Group A game in Helsingborg. The complaint has been admitted because the referee mistook the identity of the player he cautioned – with Elm not having been part of the incident or any subsequent argumentation.
