在世界杯四分之一决赛中，阿根廷队以 3-1 击败瑞士队晋级决赛。比赛第 67 分钟，VAR（视频助理裁判）介入审查后认定前锋布雷尔·恩博洛存在“错误身份”问题，遂出示第二张黄牌将其罚下 [1]。随后少一人作战的瑞士队在常规时间结束前未能扳平比分，最终在加时赛第 112 分钟被阿根廷队锁定胜局：胡利安·阿尔瓦雷斯和劳塔罗·马丁内斯各入一球完成绝杀 [1]。
赛后，瑞士主帅穆拉特·亚金对裁判的判罚表示强烈不满，他批评道：“裁判做出了错误的决定……这个规则摧毁了我们的比赛”[1]。这是本届世界杯第二次出现利用“错误身份”协议推翻黄牌并直接出示红牌的案例 [1]。
Switzerland was eliminated from the World Cup following a 3-1 defeat to Argentina in the quarterfinals, where forward Breel Embolo received a second yellow card and was sent off at the 67th minute due to an "incorrect identity" protocol intervention by VAR [1]. The match ended with goals for Argentina's Julián Álvarez (112') and Lautaro Martínez securing their victory over the Swiss side [1]. Switzerland head coach Murat Yakin strongly criticized the officiating, stating that the referee made a wrong decision and arguing that this specific rule destroyed his team's game [1]. This incident marked only the second time in the tournament that an "incorrect identity" protocol was used to overturn a yellow card call [1].
