Incident
Red card — serious foul play
Law cited
Law 12 — 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 — 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.

Quansah caught a Mexico player with a reckless, dangerous challenge; the referee gave nothing live, but VAR intervened and a straight red was shown. The final decision is correct — 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.
