FIFA Responds to Swiss Player Expulsion
FIFA's council confirmed that the decision to cancel the yellow card for the Swiss player in the Argentina match was invalid. They clarified that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) can only be used to review errors in identifying the player, not to cancel or overturn the original disciplinary action. During the game, the referee was correct in applying the "mistaken identity" rule to revoke Léo Paredes’s yellow card, but the video misinterpreted the rule, leading to Edouard Mendy's red card and an incorrect decision. The Swiss coach criticized the decision, considering it a factor in ruining the match, while the council emphasized that the referee should have adhered to the precise details of the rule, noting that VAR was not intended to alter the original foul.
