In Santa Clara, California, Paraguay’s Miguel Almiron became the first player at the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be sent off under a new rule banning players from covering their mouths during on-field confrontations. Late in the first half of a Group D match against Turkey, Almiron covered his mouth with his hand while exchanging words with defender Mert Muldur. Following a video review, the referee issued a red card, leaving Paraguay with 10 men while leading 1-0. Despite Turkey’s numerical advantage, Paraguay preserved the 1-0 win, eliminating Turkey and keeping Paraguay in contention ahead of its June 22 match against Australia. Almiron will be suspended. The rule, approved by the International Football Association Board in April after a high-profile European incident involving Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni and Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, allows exceptions for clearly friendly conversations, such as between club teammates facing each other in international play.
