VAR process of red card for Switzerland's Embolo was wrong
Published : 29 Jul 2026, 03:43
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) on Tuesday said that Switzerland forward Breel Embolo should not have been sent off during the quarter-final of World Cup between Argentina and Switzerland, international media reported, quoting a circular issued by IFAB.
The Switzerland player got a second yellow card at the 72nd minute soon after the team tied the score at 1-1.
Switzerland's momentum was short-lived as Embolo was sent out for allegation of simulation following a VAR review. The decision overturned the referee's earlier booking of Paredes for a foul.
Argentina scored two more goals in extra time to beat the 10-man Switzerland 3-1 with help from the red-card decision at Kansas City Stadium in Kansas City, the United States on July 11 (US local time).
