Should a goalkeeper (or “goalie”) receive a red card during the course of the match, they are immediately ejected from the match in the same manner that they would be if they played any other position, and the offending team must finish the contest one player down. The team can either elect to play the remainder of the match without a goalkeeper or it may insert a backup goalkeeper. If the team chooses the latter option, a player from another position must be taken out for the remainder of the match.
