Tielemans: Balogun red overturn inspired Belgium

Belgium defeated the United States 4-1 in a World Cup round of 16 match, with Youri Tielemans suggesting the controversy surrounding Folarin Balogun's red card overturn helped inspire the Belgian team. Balogun had been sent off against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32, but FIFA reversed his suspension following an intervention from Donald Trump, a decision UEFA described as crossing a 'red line'. Tielemans, the Manchester United midfielder, said Belgium were surprised by FIFA's decision but channeled the sense of injustice into a dominant performance.
