Paraguayan midfielder Miguel Almirón received the first red card of his career during a recent World Cup match. The penalty was issued after Almirón covered his mouth while speaking to an opponent during a confrontation on the field.
This incident marks the first time a new World Cup red card rule has been enforced. The regulation prohibits players from obscuring their mouths during such interactions, a measure reportedly aimed at promoting transparency.
Paraguay secured a victory in the match, which resulted in Turkey's elimination from the tournament. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
