He initially received a yellow card, but after intervention by the VAR – Pol van Boekel – the number 7 was sent off by referee Glenn Nyberg. Ronaldo found it difficult to accept the red card and cynically clapped at the crowd.
It was 2-0 to Ireland when Ronaldo was sent off after an hour in the World Cup qualifier. Both goals were credited to: Troy Parrott, the AZ striker. He had the evening of his life. Ultimately this also became the final score.
If he gets suspended for more than one match, he will definitely miss the first game of the World Cup. Should Portugal qualify for the world championship?
