Paraguay midfielder Miguel Almiron has been handed a one-match ban after becoming the first player sent off under a 2026 World Cup law that allows a red card if a player covers their mouth while speaking to an opponent in a confrontational situation, according to Yahoo Sports. Almiron was dismissed against Turkey after VAR advised a red card during a heated melee, and he will miss Paraguay’s final group game against Australia; FIFA said the sanction could have been longer if there was evidence of abusive language.
