Folarin Balogun becomes 189th player sent off in World Cup history

Folarin Balogun of the USMNT received a red card during a World Cup match, marking the 189th incident of its kind in the tournament's history. Peru's Plácido Galindo was the first player sent off back in 1930. Various notable red card incidents from past tournaments are highlighted, including José Batista's record-setting ejection after just 56 seconds in 1986 and Gialuca Pagliuca becoming the first goalkeeper to receive a red in 1994. The prevalence of red cards has continued, with the recent match adding to a long list of significant ejections.
