However, the incident sparked controversy post-match as Tuchel referenced the decision made by FIFA to suspend Folarin Balogun’s red card vs Bosnia and Herzegovina, allowing him to play in the USMNT’s round-of-16 tie against Belgium.Questioning whether the same rule will be applied for Quansah, Tuchel said: "I think first of all, to be very clear, that it was not a red card [for Balogun], but VAR got involved and obviously three people from VAR and the referee checked it and were of the opinion it is a yellow card so the decision is made."Who overturns this decision and when and on what grounds? I think it is not a yellow card.

Does France get the yellow card back for [Michael] Olise [against Paraguay] which was not a yellow card? They didn't overturn the yellow to a red.
