Breel Embolo in tears following controversial red card
Swiss striker Breel Embolo was visibly emotional after receiving a red card during the match against Argentina due to a VAR-led case of mistaken identity. Initially, referee João Pinheiro issued a yellow card to Argentina’s Leandro Paredes for a foul on Embolo. However, after a VAR check, the official decided Embolo had dived and transferred the booking to him. Because this was his second yellow card of the game, Embolo was dismissed. Argentina ultimately secured a 3-1 victory following extra time.
