Expelled during the heavy defeat of Portugal against Germany 4-0, Pepe is rather fortunate. In deciding the case on Thursday, FIFA has not been heavy handed to the Portuguese defender.
Pepe has been sentenced only one match suspension. The Real Madrid defender will be available for the third game of the first round of selection, against Ghana.

By cons, he will miss the appointment against the United States on Sunday. Pepe is known as a bad-tempered player.
