Portugal have asked FIFA to overturn Cristiano Ronaldo's booking against Ivory Coast.

The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) said in a statement that Ronaldo was "pushed and insulted" after being fouled by Guy Demel, and there was a "disparity" in the treatment of the Real Madrid player and the man who brought him down. Both Ronaldo and Demel were booked in the 21st minute of Tuesday's World Cup Group G game, which finished goalless.

"The Portuguese player was tripped and pushed near the Ivory Coast penalty box. As soon as he got up, he was surrounded by his opponents and then pushed and insulted," said the FPF.
