The Card That Changed Sides

Same incident, different angle. Paredes lunged in, the referee saw an Argentina foul, and the yellow card came out. Seconds later, the whole decision changed shape: VAR decided Embolo had gone down before meaningful contact, so Paredes' booking disappeared and the punishment moved to the Swiss forward. The tribunal studies the strangest part of the call — not just the red, but the card crossing the aisle.
