Exhibit PArgentina 3–1 Switzerland (aet) — World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal120’
The Celebration Without a Second Yellow
Quarter-final trial — the final whistle was almost there, but the file was not closed. Lautaro Martínez was already on a yellow when he scored Argentina's third in extra time, then went over the advertising boards to celebrate with the fans. Some fans argued it should have been a second yellow and a red, which would have ruled him out of the England semifinal. The referee let the celebration go. Law 12 does not make every brief exit automatically cautionable, but climbing into the crowd is exactly the kind of line the jury wants reviewed.
The facts, as presented
- Decision
- No second yellow given
- Referee's call
- No caution shown for Lautaro Martínez's goal celebration
- VAR involvement
- No VAR involvement; second-yellow decisions are not reviewable by VAR
- Outcome
- Lautaro stayed on the pitch and remained available for the semifinal against England
