The Swiss fought valiantly, even pushing to extra time with ten men, but Argentina’s goals from Álvarez and Martínez sealed a 3-1 win. Coach Murat Yakin blasted the ruling as “unacceptable,” calling it a game-changer that destroyed Switzerland’s momentum, while Argentina’s Scaloni admitted they got lucky. The “mistaken identity” VAR protocol — meant to fix errors — sparked fresh debate over fairness and bias, as FIFA’s officials defend their integrity amid mounting criticism.
