Switzerland fume at bizarre 'mistaken identity' red card against Argentina

The World Cup referee who oversaw Lionel Messi and Argentina's win to set up a semi-final against England overnight has been accused of 'being against' Switzerland as anger grows against the perceived treatment of the world champions. Switzerland's players and manager were incensed with Argentina's triumph‚ 3-1 in extra-time‚ after their striker Breel Embolo became the first player to be sent off as a result of a new rule for mistaken identity. With the quarter-final level on 72 minutes‚ Embolo was shown a second yellow card after a video assistant referee review which led to him being adjudged to have dived - rather than being fouled by Argentina's Leandro Paredes. A new rule introduced for this World Cup states that if a player is booked or sent off - but the foul was actually committed by the opposition - the decision can be changed.
