According to The Sun: Cristiano Ronaldo received a red card during an important World Cup qualifying match between Portugal and the Republic of Ireland in Dublin. This moment occurred in the 62nd minute of the game when Portugal was trailing 0-2 after two goals scored by Troy Parrott in the first half.

Ronaldo, who is 40 years old, elbowed defender Dara O'Shea in the back after being pulled by his shirt.
