Summary
Miguel Almirón’s sending-off against Turkey sparked an on-air meltdown from a Paraguayan radio pundit, who branded the referee a “thief” and said Gianni Infantino was “killing football.”
The flashpoint was Almirón becoming the first player sent off under the so-called “Prestianni Law,” turning the dismissal into the match’s main talking point.
Paraguay still won, a result that blunted the fallout from the controversial red card even as the incident dominated post-match reaction.
