A dramatic incident happened to the Swiss striker
I spilled the platform (VAR file) The Spanish club, which specializes in the analysis of arbitration cases, shed light on the incident of the Swiss Brill Embolo’s dismissal during the match against Argentina (1-3), this Sunday morning in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
He noted that the incident occurred as a result of the application of one of the latest changes in the video technology protocol of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) and the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
In the 72nd minute of the match, the Portuguese referee Joao Pineiro committed a foul on Leandro Paredes in the match against Embolo, and also showed a yellow card to the Argentinian player.
But the video technology intervened due to “Mistaken Identity”, a new rule that allows the warning to be reconsidered if it turns out that the offense was committed by another player.

After looking at the screenshot, it appeared that Paredes had not committed a foul and that Embolo had deliberately cheated to get a foul, so the Argentinian’s caution was overturned and the referee flashed a yellow card in the Swiss striker’s face.
As Embolo had already received a yellow card in the first half, he was sent off, leaving Switzerland with ten men as the team recovered from a 1-1 draw.
The platform explained (VAR file) The text of the new IFAB rule reads: “A case of mistaken identity should be reviewed if the player is cautioned when the foul was committed by another player,” given that the Switzerland forward deserved a second yellow card.
He added that FIFA, in its interpretation of this rule, considers that a foul requiring a direct free kick and a foul foul requiring an indirect free kick can be treated as a single offense by applying the “mistaken identification” clause, which is the interpretation relied on by the referee in the Embolo incident.
