Yakin Calls Embolo Red Card “Unbelievable” After Argentina Defeat
Switzerland head coach Murat Yakin launched a stinging attack on match officials after his side’s 3-1 extra-time loss to Argentina in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final. He called the red card shown to Breel Embolo after a VAR review “unbelievable” and argued that the decision dramatically swung the match in Argentina’s favour. Yakin insisted there was no malicious intent in the challenge and questioned how the referee and video assistant reached their ruling. He stopped short of accusing Argentina of favoritism and congratulated them on a hard-fought win. The defending champions will now meet England in the semi-final.
