Portugal manager Roberto Martínez has urged FIFA not to hand out a lengthy ban to Cristiano Ronaldo over his red card against the Republic of Ireland.
A shock 2–0 defeat went from bad to worse on the hour mark when VAR caught a clash between Ronaldo and Dara O’Shea. The Al Nassr forward was deemed to have thrown an elbow into the defender’s back and was subsequently shown a red card.
