在阿根廷对阵瑞士的世界杯四分之一决赛中，裁判组利用视频助理裁判（VAR）介入并纠正了一起严重的身份识别错误。第 71 分钟，原本应出示给阿根廷球员帕雷德斯的黄牌被系统性地指向了瑞士队球员布雷尔·恩博洛 [1]。由于这一技术失误导致向恩博洛出示了其第二张黄牌，他随即在第 72 分钟被罚下场 [1]。这是世界杯历史上首次出现因“身份识别错误”而导致的此类判罚 [1]。该误判致使瑞士队在常规时间结束前少一人作战，最终在加时赛中不敌阿根廷队出局 [1]。
In the World Cup quarter-final match between Argentina and Switzerland, referee Felix Brych issued a second yellow card to Swiss midfielder Breel Embolo due to an identity recognition error. [1] This incident marked the first time such a penalty had occurred in World Cup history. [1] The mistake happened after Video Assistant Referee (VAR) intervention at the 71st minute, which corrected an initial booking intended for Argentine player Nicolas Tagliafico that was mistakenly attributed to Embolo. [1] Consequently, Embolo received his second yellow card and was sent off in the 72nd minute. [1] The Swiss team finished the regular time with one fewer player before ultimately losing in extra time against Argentina. [1]
