Melissa Garvey, a soccer fan at The Garden at Boardroom in Kailua, noted that people often offer explanations of soccer rules during broadcasts.
Former UH soccer player Krista Peterson explained how players manage their positioning to remain onside.
She described that an attacking player must receive the ball while standing equal to or further from the goal than the second-to-last defensive opponent.
Peterson also detailed the warning system for yellow cards, noting that a second yellow card in a single match automatically triggers a red card ejection.
Direct red cards are issued for extreme fouls or when a defender deliberately prevents a clear goalscoring opportunity.
