Switzerland forward Breel Embolo is sent off in the 72nd minute of the World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina, after a VAR review leads to a second yellow card. The match is level 1-1 at the time of the dismissal. Multiple outlets report that the red card follows a simulation decision rather than an on-field foul, and that the escalation comes only after the referee reviews the incident via VAR. One report notes Embolo becomes the first player to be dismissed following a VAR review in the quarterfinal stage. Another account describes the ruling as a “diving”/simulation call, which results in the second caution and subsequent sending off. The decision is presented across the coverage as controversial, but all sources align on the core sequence: Embolo receives a booking in the second half, VAR is used, and the check results in a second yellow and red. The incidents occur during the quarterfinal match while Switzerland and Argentina are tied.
