Almiron Sent Off as Paraguay Eliminates Turkey

Miguel Almiron apologised to his teammates after being shown a red card for covering his mouth while talking to an opponent, the first dismissal under FIFA’s new rule.

The incident overshadowed Paraguay’s victory, which eliminated Turkey from the tournament after they failed to score in three matches, setting a record for most shots without a goal.

Matias Galarza had scored the fastest goal of the tournament, but the red card dominated the post-match discussion.

Paraguay advanced to the knockout stage, while Turkey’s coach faced criticism.
