It was a “disaster” for Switzerland — and a lifeline for Argentina. Five minutes after Dan Ndoye’s equalizer for the Swiss on Saturday night, Breel Embolo was given a second yellow card for diving. The decision was made after an initial yellow card on Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes, with VAR intervening over an apparent case of “mistaken identity,” and referee Joao Pinheiro ultimately sent off Embolo for simulation.
