Paraguay midfielder Miguel Almiron has made history by becoming the first player to receive a red card for covering his mouth during an on-field incident, following FIFA's updated regulations. The incident occurred in first-half stoppage time of Paraguay's Group D match against Türkiye, where Almiron was seen directing comments towards Turkish defender Mert while obscuring his mouth. This decision marks a significant enforcement of the new rules aimed at addressing unsportsmanlike conduct during matches.
