Swiss striker Breel Embolo opens up after red card in World Cup quarter‑final vs Argentina

Breel Embolo, the Swiss forward, received a second yellow card after a VAR‑reviewed dive in the 72nd minute of the World Cup quarter‑final against Argentina in Kansas City. The dismissal left Switzerland with ten men, and they eventually lost 1‑3 after extra time, ending their tournament.

Embolo broke his silence on Instagram, saying he still has “no words” to describe the disappointment. He thanked Swiss supporters, expressed that the defeat “hurts” but will not define the team, and vowed that “we will come back stronger” for future matches.
