U.S. men’s national team forward Folarin Balogun received a red card during the second half of their Round of 32 World Cup match against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday night. The incident occurred as Balogun was making a challenge for the ball and stepped on an opposing player’s leg.
As a result, the U.S. team was reduced to 10 players for the remainder of the match. If the United States maintains their 1-0 lead, Balogun will be suspended and miss the upcoming Round of 16 game.
The red card has sparked controversy given the timing and impact on the U.S. squad's chances in the tournament.
