Wayne Hennessey, the goalkeeper of the Welsh national team received a red card in today's match against Iran, the first red on World Cup in Qatar.

This shutout helped the Iranians score two goals in the finish and reach an important victory that leaves them with hopes that they can find themselves in one of the first two positions in the group leading to the round of XNUMX.

For the first time in history, all the matches of the first round were played without anyone being sent off. Hennessy made sure the wait wasn't too long.

By the way, according to "Opta", Hennessey is only the third goalkeeper in history to receive a red card at the World Cup.

It happened to them before Itumeleng Kune of South Africa in the match against Uruguay in 2010 and Gianluca Paljuca from Italy in the match against Norway in 1994.
