Belgians weigh Folarin Balogun as “darling of the match” in which he didn't play

FIFA's decision to lift U.S. striker Folarin Balogun's one-match ban, allowing him to play against Belgium in the World Cup round-of-16, sparked controversy in Belgium. Despite not participating in the Norway-Brazil match, Balogun was named third choice for 'darling of the match' by RTBF viewers, receiving 17% of votes. The top two spots were claimed by Norway's Ørjan Nyland and Erling Haaland.
