Former U.S. men’s national team coach Bruce Arena said Folarin Balogun’s red card was justified, calling the challenge a dangerous play even if it was accidental. Balogun was sent off after a collision with Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarek Muharemović that was upgraded to a red following a VAR review, and he will serve a one-game suspension with no mechanism for appeal, according to Yahoo Sports.

USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino said after the match that it was “never” a red card and described the incident as a normal action that happened by accident. Balogun, who has three goals at the World Cup, will miss the USMNT’s Round of 32 match against Belgium on Monday.
