🎥 Ronaldo sent off for lashing out at Ireland, watch the incident | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in what was probably his last World Cup Qualifier match.

Portugal was already losing 2-0 to Ireland in Dublin when the number 7 elbowed O'Shea.

After a video referee review, the yellow card he initially received was turned into a red card.

It was his first expulsion while defending the Portuguese national team. This could even turn into drama for the World Cup if he is punished (later) with more than one match suspension.

Ronaldo still used irony before leaving the field dissatisfied with the referee's decision.

Before receiving the red card, he made "crying" gestures.

The certainty is that this expulsion keeps him out of the match against Armenia next Sunday (16), at Dragão.

Portugal missed the chance to secure a direct spot in the 2026 World Cup with tonight's defeat.

They remained with ten points and still lead Group H. Hungary reached eight points earlier, and Ireland reached seven.

The final round will still have the decisive Hungary vs. Ireland on the same Sunday (16).

Only the leader of each group goes to the World Cup without needing a playoff.
