By admin — In yahoo — July 2, 2026

   ​In Santa Clara, Calif., a wild turn of events unfolded during the USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina round of 32 World Cup match when U.S. star Folarin Balogun was sent off with a red card in the 64th minute. Balogun was challenging for the ball with Bosnia’s Tarik Muharemovic and stepped on his ankle, sending both players to the ground as injuries were assessed. After a delay, the referee reviewed the incident and upheld a red card for Balogun. Balogun had given the U.S. a 1-0 lead with a first-half strike, leaving them with 10 men and more than 25 minutes to defend. If the U.S. advances to face Belgium in the round of 16, Balogun will be suspended for the next match. This story is developing, and updates will follow. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY with a note about the red card and the U.S. playing with 10 men against Bosnia.
