South Korea’s last-ditch effort from outside the box appeared to carom off a Ghana player and out of bounds over the end line. Instead of awarding a corner kick, Taylor called the match over. South Korean players immediately began to address Taylor while Bento charged over and got into his face.
The red card meant Bento will miss South Korea’s final match of the World Cup against Portugal. Assistant coach Sergio Costa said he did not hear anything "inappropriate" come from Bento toward Taylor.
