Paraguay midfielder Miguel Almirón was shown a straight red card against Turkiye after VAR reviewed an incident in which he appeared to cover his mouth while speaking during a confrontation, an offence under FIFA’s new anti-mouth-covering rule, according to Yahoo Sports. The rule, popularly known as the “Prestianni Law,” was introduced after Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni used a homophobic slur toward Real Madrid’s Vinícius Jr., and it was applied after Almirón appeared to say something to Meri Muldur, who then approached the officials. Earlier, Matías Galarza scored after 64 seconds for the quickest goal of the tournament so far.
