Folarin Balogun News: Scores, shown shocking red card

Balogun scored one goal on four shots (one on target) before he was shown a red card in the 64th minute of Wednesday's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Balogun netted the opening goal of Wednesday's match as the USA jumped out to an early lead, a third goal this tournament for the forward. However, it was not all good for the forward, as after a clash of bodies that looked to be a regular foul at most, the referee turned to VAR, instead sending off Balogun in a shocking turn of events. This is a major loss for the USMNT and possibly the worst thing that could have happened while holding the lead, as he will now be ineligible for the following match if the USMNT qualifies for the round of 16. This would likely have Ricardo Pepi start at forward if they do advance, with Haji Wright as another option.
