F. Balbuenai shown red card - cancelled © „Reuters“

On Saturday, during the match against London's "Chelsea", "West Ham United" defender Fabian Balbuena received the mercy of the English FA. On Tuesday evening, it was announced that the red card shown to the 29-year-old Paraguayan had been rescinded and the defender will be able to help the "Hammers" in the upcoming match. F. Balbuena was sent off in the 81st minute when he accidentally kicked the opponent while trying to play the ball. The referee initially did not even notice the incident, but using the VAR system, decided to send off the player and showed a direct red card. This decision caused a real storm of discussions on social media, and "West Ham" manager David Moyes said after the match that only someone who has never played football could make such a decision.
