Egypt looked poised to score a famous victory at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium after goals from Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico left them 2-0 up with just 11 minutes of normal time remaining.
Florin Balogun received a straight red card following a video review for stepping on a Bosnia-Herzegovina defender's foot in the round-of-32 match that the US won 2-0.
US President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday he asked FIFA boss Gianni Infantino to review Balogun's ban, telling reporters at the White House: "I asked for a review because I didn't think it was a foul."
The decision to defer US star Folarin Balogun's one-match World Cup suspension following President Donald Trump's phone call to FIFA chief Gianni Infantino has sparked comment from far and wide.
