Tim Ream conceded a free-kick and was shown a yellow card for his 'challenge' on Paraguay's Miguel Almiron.
After the free-kick was taken, referee Danny Makkelie was sent to the screen by the VAR and overturned his decision, rescinding Ream's caution and instead booking Almiron, who had clearly dived.
The first VAR intervention for mistaken identity at the World Cup.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: The VAR had already dealt with a similar situation to the Paredes - Embolo one at this World Cup during USA vs. Paraguay... It's called 'mistaken identity':
• Tim Ream was initially booked for a supposed foul on Miguel Almirón. However, after the free-kick had been taken, referee Danny Makkelie was sent to the monitor.
• Makkelie overturned the decision, rescinded Ream’s yellow card and instead booked Almirón for diving, the first VAR intervention for mistaken identity at a World Cup.
• The same thing has now happened in Argentina vs. Switzerland as Leandro Paredes was initially shown a yellow card for a challenge on Breel Embolo, but the VAR spotted that Embolo had dived
• Then, Paredes’ booking was overturned, while Embolo was shown a yellow card... Because it was Embolo’s second booking, he was sent off.
