👀For the first time in World Cup history, VAR intervened because a yellow card had been shown to the wrong player. During the United States vs Paraguay match, referee Danny Makkelie initially booked US captain Tim Ream for a foul, but after reviewing the incident, he rescinded the caution and instead punished Miguel Almirón for simulation.
VAR stepped in due to a case of mistaken identity — a new rule now allows officials to review incidents when a card has been shown to the wrong footballer. 😎
