According to reporter Dale Johnson, Argentina midfielder Paredes's red card was not rescinded because he never received one in the first place, and FIFA has confirmed that no disciplinary action was taken at the time.

FIFA has confirmed that it will investigate the Argentine team's confrontational behavior after the FIFA World Cup final, and any players or coaches involved in the conflict may face suspension penalties. The Argentine Football Association may also be fined. Molina, Paredes, Almada, and assistant coach Ayala were all involved in the conflict.

Dale Johnson stated that Paredes's red card being removed from official records does not mean his red card was rescinded. Instead, the FIFA commentator information system erroneously reported that Paredes was sent off by referee Vincic for pushing Spain player Eric Garcia's throat. In fact, the referee did not take any disciplinary action at the time, so there was no red card to be rescinded.
