JAKARTA - Group H match between Portugal and Uruguay at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Tuesday, November 29, early morning WIB, was marked by the action of supporters entering the field. Again, the audience "attacked" the field with the rainbow flag at the Lusail Stadium.
The moment came five minutes into the second half. The action forced the match to be temporarily suspended.

The action did not last long. He was then arrested by security forces and taken off the field. Meanwhile, Iranian referee Alireza Faghani, who was on duty at the time, removed the rainbow flag carried by the intruder.
