Sigue sin amarrar su boleto Portugal al Mundial 2026; CR7 es expulsado

Overview

  • Cristiano Ronaldo was shown a direct red card after VAR upgraded an initial yellow for an elbow on Dara O’Shea in the 61st minute in Dublin.
  • Troy Parrott scored both first‑half goals at Aviva Stadium to seal Ireland’s win and keep their playoff hopes alive.
  • Portugal stays atop Group F on 10 points and qualifies directly with a victory over Armenia, while a draw could suffice depending on Hungary vs. Ireland.
  • The dismissal rules Ronaldo out of Sunday’s game, marking his first sending‑off with Portugal’s senior team as he left the field to jeers and responded with ironic applause.
  • Disciplinary authorities have not announced any additional ban; outlets cite FIFA rules indicating a possible multi‑match suspension that could carry into the World Cup, and Mexico’s March 2026 friendly with Portugal remains contingent on confirmed qualification.
