The United States secured a dominant 4-1 victory over Paraguay in their FIFA World Cup opener. The match also featured a historic VAR decision, overturning a mistaken-identity yellow card issued to Tim Ream, marking the first time VAR corrected such a booking in the tournament.
In a 2026 World Cup qualifier, VAR was used to correct a mistaken identity call for the first time. A referee initially issued a yellow card to a US player for a foul on Paraguay's Miguel Almirón, but VAR review showed no contact, leading to the card being rescinded and issued to Almirón for simulation.
Tim Ream became the oldest USMNT player at a World Cup and the first to benefit from the 'mistaken identity' rule change, where a yellow card was overturned and issued to an opponent for simulation.
