Summary
Belgium defeated the United States 4-1 in a friendly match, but FIFA has since declared the result invalid. The controversy stems from Folarin Balogun, who had his suspension lifted just before kickoff — a decision FIFA now admits was a mistake, as Balogun should not have been allowed to play.
