Portugal's Leao sent off for punching in World Cup warmup win over Chile
LISBON, Portugal (AP) --- Portugal forward Rafael Leao was sent off for
punching an opponent during a 2-0 win over Chile in a World Cup warmup on
Saturday.
Leao got into a heated altercation with Chile defender Ivan Romn after he felt
he had been fouled by a different opponent. Leao was spotted throwing a punch
and Romn reacted angrily and both were shown straight red cards on the stroke
of halftime.
Cristiano Ronaldo started the match but was taken off at halftime and his
replacement, Gonalo Guedes, scored the opening goal.
Bruno Fernandes doubled Portugal's lead in the 75th and Lucas Cepeda netted for
Chile in stoppage time.
Portugal is in Group K at the World Cup along with Colombia, Uzbekistan and
Congo. Portugal opens against Congo on June 17 in Houston.
Ronaldo is set to make a record-tying sixth World Cup appearance.
