Folarin Balogun’s World Cup red card: Was decision right? Can it be overturned? - The Athletic

Folarin Balogun, 24, was shown a straight red card in the USMNT's 2026 FIFA World Cup round-of-32 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday in Santa Clara, after a foul on Tarik Muharemovic in the 61st minute. Despite playing with ten men, the U.S. held on and won, with Malik Tillman's late free kick sealing the result after Balogun himself had scored to make it 1-0. Balogun will now serve an automatic suspension for the round-of-16 match against Belgium in Seattle on Monday, July 6.
