Almirón's mouth-covering ban at World Cup
The first case of a player being sent off in the World Cup for covering their mouth occurred during a match between Paraguay and Turkey. Paraguayan referee Miguel Almirón sent off a player in the 45+3rd minute after he spoke to Turkish player Mert Möldür and covered his mouth while talking. This was following a decision by FIFA permitting referees to send off players who cover their mouths during confrontations with opponents.
