VAR corrects Switzerland's Breel Embolo red card against Argentina

In the World Cup quarterfinals on July 12, Switzerland faced Argentina. Breel Embolo received a second yellow card for simulation, leading to his ejection from the match. The VAR review confirmed the referee’s decision, drawing parallels to a previous incident involving Paraguay's Miguel Almirón earlier in the tournament. The red card decision has sparked controversy, but it aligns with FIFA's efforts to penalize diving. Argentina eventually won the match in extra time, but the incident highlighted the ongoing discussion surrounding VAR's role.
