The reversal of Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension is highly unusual. It was the first time since 1962 that FIFA has nullified a suspension for a red card received during the World Cup.

Justice was served
No. Even if it WAS a bullshit red card, plenty of teams have had their tournament affected by bad refereeing. None of them had a suspension annulled since 1962.
This is corruption to curry favor with the despot in charge of one of the host countries, pure and simple.
