Art,
You need to look up Obvious GoalScoring Opportunity. (Law 12 sending-off offenses #4 and #5, plus 12.36 and 12.38 in Advice to Referees) The severity of the foul has nothing to do with it. If the foul denies an OGSO, you need to send-off the offender. A foul of this type is in itself considered so unsportsmanlike that it justifies the send-off.
Happy learning.
