I saw that match and it was confusing as to what exactly the refs were giving the red card for. They announced it was for flipping 1296 and I don't think they were ever out of play for more than a second or two and it definitely was not intentional.

In general I've noticed that the refs have been a bit more liberal with the red/yellow cards in the quals. The refs don't appear to be as forgiving as they were for earlier events.
