They even have a regulation against heading the ball back to your own goal-keeper in order to avoid misuse of...

But technically that means that team B will actually have an advantage by getting a red card here. Because who is supposed to take the next penalty? It is not fair if their first shooter should get another shot at the penalty, as he is likely to be a far better kicker than team A´s 11th...
