Legendary striker of the national team of Portugal Cristiano Ronaldo received a one-match suspension from FIFA for unsportsmanlike conduct in the selection game for the 2026 World Cup against the Irish team (0:2). This was reported by the Record publication.
It was expected that the 40-year-old forward would miss 2 matches for hitting an opponent in the face, but the football player got away with a minimal punishment.
