Rafael Leao (25 years old) will miss Portugal's final group stage match due to suspension.

The Portuguese received his second yellow card in the European Championship against Türkiye. The amazing thing about the two yellow cards is that they both came after Leao's alleged shooting.

This is the first time in EC history that a player has received two yellow cards for shooting.
