Free kick to Switzerland and yellow card to Leandro Paredes.
What happened?
Switzerland were awarded a free kick and Argentina’s Leandro Paredes was shown a yellow card following a challenge on Breel Embolo. After a VAR intervention under the mistaken identity protocol, the decision was reversed. Embolo was booked for simulation and sent off because it was his second yellow card. IFAB later stated that VAR should not have intervened in this way, while FIFA defended the outcome.
Paredes’ yellow card was cancelled. Embolo received a second yellow card for simulation and was sent off.
