VAR Mistaken Identity Sparks Controversy as Embolo Receives Red in Argentina-Switzerland Quarterfinal

Breel Embolo became the first player in World Cup history to be sent off on a second yellow after a VAR review under a mistaken-identity interpretation in the Argentina-Switzerland quarterfinal. The referee initially booked Leandro Paredes for a foul; after VAR, he ruled no foul by Paredes and punished Embolo for simulation, highlighting a rule meant to correct penalties to the wrong player but not the offense itself. The incident echoes an earlier case and has intensified debate over refereeing and the new VAR interpretation at this World Cup.

VAR misidentification costs Embolo as Switzerland bow out in WC 2026 quarter-final

In the World Cup 2026 quarter-final, a VAR review ruled Breel Embolo’s contact as a mistaken identity call, overturning an earlier yellow for Leandro Paredes and sending Embolo off for a second yellow. Switzerland, already down a man, pressed to 1-1 with Dan Ndoye’s 67th‑minute goal but conceded twice in extra time as Argentina advanced; coach Murat Yakin and teammates condemned the ruling and VAR’s use of mistaken identity as disastrous to the match.
