Paula retweetledi

A very brave decision, but 100% the correct one.
The law already allows this. In situations involving a second yellow card that could result in a dismissal, VAR is permitted to intervene when the caution stems from a reviewable incident—as happened here.
Embolo had already been booked for his reckless challenge on Paredes. He then deliberately simulated a foul, prompting VAR to intervene.
After reviewing the incident, the referee rescinded Paredes’ yellow card and instead showed Embolo a second yellow for simulation, followed by a red card.
It was the correct refereeing decision, and the officiating team deserves credit for having the courage to make it. 👏🏼
