Iran boss Carlos Queiroz has bemoaned the referee's decision not to send off Cristiano Ronaldo during his side's 1-1 draw with Portugal on Monday, despite consulting the Video Assistant Referee to review the incident.
Ronaldo appeared to elbow Morteza Pouraliganji late in the second half, but after viewing the replay pitchside, referee Enrique Caceres decided to only award him a yellow card.
"Why?" asked Queiroz, per the Telegraph's Jim White. "The rules don't say if it is Messi or Ronaldo it is only a little bit of an elbow. It is a red card.
