Summary
The rules now say the following: "If a player is cautioned or sent off, but the foul was actually committed by the opposing team, the decision can be changed.". Embolo first protested such a decision, then broke down and left the field in tears. VAR could already call the referee for "mistaken identity" before this World Cup, but that referred to rare cases where the referee confused two players from the same team and gave a caution or sending-off to the wrong one.
