XPath PHP - check if class exists in a parent class

I have this kind of HTML file:

<div class="find-this">I do not need this</div>

<div class="content ">
    <div class="find-this">
          <span class="yellowcard"></span>
          <span class="name">Cristiano Ronaldo</span>
    </div>
</div>
<div class=" content">
    <div class="find-this">
        <span class="redcard"></span>
        <span class="name">Lionel Messi</span>
    </div>
</div>

So far, I get the find-this class that are in content parent class.

$nodes = $xpath->query("//div[contains(@class,'content')]//div[@class='find-this']");
foreach ($nodes as $key => $node) {
        echo "Player ". $key .": " . $node->nodeValue;
    }

Result:

Player0: Cristiano Ronaldo
Player1: Lionel Messi

How I can find out which find-this class is parent of <span class="yellowcard"> and which one is parent of <span class="redcard">? Thank you in advice.

To select the find-this div which is a parent of <span class="yellowcard"> and the div which is parent of <span class="redcard"> use the XPaths shown below:

$yellow_nodes = $xpath->query("//span[@class='yellowcard']/parent::div[@class='find-this']");
$red_nodes = $xpath->query("//span[@class='redcard']/parent::div[@class='find-this']");
