Summary
But in farcical scenes, Balogun's ban was suspended, freeing him up to play, after Donald Trump rang FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The football body issued scant explanation for suspending Balogun's ban, merely citing 'Article 27 of the FIFA disciplinary code'. Donald Trump had called FIFA president Gianni Infantino - and later thanked the organisation for 'reversing a great injustice' However, Article 66.4 states that a red card causes an automatic ban for the team's next match.
Furthermore, But VAR got involved, and obviously three people from VAR checked it and were of the opinion that it was a red card. Monday’s match will now be played against the backdrop of a decision that has become one of the defining controversies of the tournament, with the debate over Fifa’s powers unlikely to end at the final whistle.
