Yellow and red cards were introduced simultaneously. They were used at the football World Cup 1970 in Mexico for the first time.
On May 31, 1970, in the opening match of this championships, Mexico against Soviet Union, the referee Kurt Tschenscher pulled the first yellow card of history.
However, the first red card during a World Cup came to use 4 years later on July 14, 1974. It was the game Germany against Chile.
The yellow-red card was introduced much later in 1991.
