[Football] What's the record for yellow cards in a game?

[Juan Albion]

In Indonesia's Menpora Cup semi-finals, Persib Bandung and PSS Sleman just drew 1-1 and the game featured 15 (FIFTEEN) yellow cards, with only one player picking up two. Is this a record?

 

[Swansman]

16 in the Battle of Nuremberg is probably up there

Good call. Wasn't it actually 18?

Edit: no, you are right, 16.

Anyone remember this match? Albion v Exeter City on Dec 22 2000 - Albion won 2-0 (Exeter's Jamie Campbell scored an own goal ) but the Grecians had 10 players booked (with no-one getting sent-off!). Albion had three booked:-

I sent seven people off in a game once

All deserved it.

I was there. There were taking turns to 'break up the game'. Disgraceful.

When it comes to cards, the redoubtable Vinny Samways takes the biscuit. If Franco were alive at the time Samways would have been shot. 96 Yellow and 11 red
