Soccer’s law-making panel, IFAB, has clarified VAR guidance after it effectively confirmed Switzerland forward Breel Embolo should not have been sent off in the World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina. Embolo received a second yellow after a video review for simulating a foul. Argentina’s Leandro Paredes had initially been shown a yellow until VAR officials alerted the referee; the decision changed the flow of the match, shortly after Switzerland tied 1-1. Argentina went on to win 3-1 in extra time, triggering referee complaints tied to Lionel Messi. IFAB said “mistaken identity” isn’t yet eligible for an Embolo-type incident.
