Balogun gets US”s go-ahead goal against Bosnia and then red card

SANTA CLARA (US): (Jul 2)  Folarin Balogun’s night in the World Cup’s round of 32 was a roller coaster of emotions.

It began with his third goal of the tournament to put the United States in the lead against Bosnia-Herzegovina and ended prematurely when he was given a red card early in the second half that will force him to miss the next game.

“It’s so unfortunate honestly,” teammate Christian Pulisic said following Wednesday’s 2-0 win. “It just seems so harsh for us to get that. He’s done so much for us, and now we got his back. If he has to miss the next game, it’s just ridiculous for something like that.”
