🎙️ Murat Yakin: This rule ruined the match | OneFootball

Murat Yakin, Switzerland’s head coach, blasted the new football rules after the match that sealed his team’s fate in the World Cup. 

"There was no reason for that booking, it was an innocent, harmless situation. The refereeing mistake punished us because of an unacceptable rule that has eliminated us in this way. I don’t know how the referee and VAR came to that conclusion." .

"This rule ruined the match. There was no reason for that yellow card, I repeat. In that situation, play should simply have continued," he told the press. 

Switzerland were left with 10 men on the field right at their best moment against Argentina, after Embolo was shown a second yellow card under the “false identity” rule.
