Folarin Balogun was the player who received the red card for the USA.

What happened

In the United States’ World Cup round-of-32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, forward Folarin Balogun was shown a straight red card in the second half after a foul on defender Tarik Muharemovic. Reports describe him stepping down onto Muharemovic’s ankle/leg while challenging for the ball, with the referee upgrading the incident to a red card after a VAR review.

Why it matters

Because it was a direct red card, Balogun was sent off immediately and the USA had to play the remainder of the match with 10 players, although they still won 2–0. Under World Cup disciplinary rules, he is automatically suspended for the USA’s next game, which is their last-16 match against Belgium in Seattle.
