MIAMI, June 23 : Paraguay’s Miguel Almiron will serve a one-game ban at the World Cup after he received a red card for covering his mouth in a confrontation during their 1-0 win over Turkey in their second group game, FIFA said on Tuesday.
Almiron became the first player sent off at the tournament for violating a new rule that forbids players from covering their mouths during on-field confrontations.
• FIFA said the one-match suspension was for a breach of the FIFA Disciplinary Code that deals with unsporting behaviour towards an opponent or a person other than a match official.
• Almiron will serve the suspension in Paraguay’s last group match against Australia on Thursday.

• FIFA said the decision is not subject to appeal.
