Efab criticizes Empolo's firing

The report from the International Football Association (FIFA) indicated that the expulsion of Swiss forward Breel Embolo during the quarter-final World Cup match against Argentina was unwarranted. It was found that the referee’s decision to send him off based on a second yellow card was incorrect after video assistant referee (VAR) review. The report confirmed that VAR can intervene to identify the player committing a foul but does not allow for reviewing or changing the yellow card decision. This mistake led to Switzerland, playing with ten men, losing the match. Their coach, Murad Yakin, expressed his dissatisfaction with the red card decision, deeming it unacceptable. This decision ultimately caused the Swiss team to be eliminated from the tournament amid widespread doubts about the accuracy of the refereeing decisions in the decisive match.
