Switzerland forward Breel Embolo was shown a second yellow card and sent off after a VAR review overturned an initial foul call and removed a yellow card for Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes in the World Cup 2026 quarter-final between Argentina and Switzerland, with the score 1-1. Referee Joao Pinheiro ruled there was no foul by Paredes and booked Embolo for simulation, leaving the Swiss player in tears as teammates Denis Zakaria and Granit Xhaka protested the decision, according to Yahoo Sports.
