Atrociously bad card

Watch the replay …

Balogun is looking upfield (not in the direction of the Bosnia player). The Bosnian player who he is entangled with pulls Balogun in the direction of the foul. Balogun had ZERO intent in the direction of the foul.

No way that should have been a red card.

Just a terrible call.
