The Boks lost Esterhuizen early in the game when he made head contact with Portugal counterpart Jose Lima in a tackle.
Esterhuizen was initially shown a yellow card before it was upgraded to red upon further review.
This saw Esterhuizen miss out on a spot in the 33-man Springbok squad named on Tuesday for the Rugby Championship.
