Ronaldo, Ireland
Digest more
Cristiano Ronaldo was dismissed for elbowing Ipswich Town captain Dara O'Shea as the Republic of Ireland beat Portugal 2-0 in Dublin last night.
Because after an elbow check against Ireland's O'Shea, the 40-year-old was sent off with a straight red card. At least in the 225 matches before, Ronaldo was always a "good boy," having never received a red card in his international career until now.
