Incident
Red card β€” serious foul play
Law cited
Law 12 β€” a challenge made with excessive force or that endangers an opponent's safety is serious foul play and a straight red. A tackle that lands recklessly and dangerously on an opponent meets that bar regardless of any intent to play the ball.
Recommended action
Red card correct β€” the challenge was reckless and endangered the opponent, which is serious foul play and a sending-off. The final outcome is right; the concern is that the on-field referee gave no foul at all, and it took VAR to reach it.

The final decision is correct β€” a reckless, safety-endangering challenge is serious foul play and a red. The caveat is the on-field miss: no foul was given at all, and it took VAR to fix it. CORRECT DECISION, medium confidence.
