Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey becomes the first player to receive a red card at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar against Iran on Friday.

In a bid to prevent a counter-attack, he rushed off his box to kick the ball but he missed the ball and his knee hit Taremi in the chest.

He was first given a yellow card by the referee, then he came back after the VAR check to cancel the yellow card and give him a straight red card.

Wales are down to 10-man with Iran trying to find a goal.

He also becomes the third goalkeeper ever to receive a red card at the World Cup after Itumeleng Khune for South Africa against Uruguay in 2010 and Gianluca Pagliuca for Italy against Norway in 1994.
