In American football, there is no penalty for not enough players on the field for a play. Should there be too many players on the field, there is a penalty called for illegal participation (five yards). But if a team has too few, there is no penalty called. There technically is no penalty for having too few players on the field. However, the offense always has to have at least seven men on the line of scrimmage and an eligible receiver on each end of the line. If the offense didn't meet this requirement, they would be flagged for an illegal formation.
If too many players are on the field for one team, the referee determines which is the "extra" player. That player has entered the field without the referee's permission, and is therefore cautioned (yellow card).
The additional player would be cautioned for entering the field without the permission of the referee and told to leave the field. If this was discovered immediately after a goal was scored by that team, then the goal could be disallowed.
there is no penalty they'll just take away as many players extra you have
