From the box score in my son's last year playing college soccer (UC Davis at Oregon State)

Reading between the lines -- my son committed the foul, for which he received a yellow card. He stood in the wall facing the free kick, and blocked the shot - with his head. That gave him a concussion, so he was taken out for the rest of the game, and that was the only time he missed all season.
Not to worry - there's medical magic in soccer.
I've seen players with injuries hideous, flopping in horrifying pain,
begging alternatively for mother and morphine, leap up instantly cured
to rejoin the fray.
As I said, I can only attribute it to soccer medical magic. May it
always protect your son.
