In the Swedish Allsvenskan clash between IF Elfsborg and Hammarby on Monday night, Ghanaian midfielder Michael Baidoo received a red card, marking a challenging turn in the match for his team.

Baidoo's troubles began in the 79th minute when he received his first caution, and later, a high-foot incident led to his expulsion from the game.

The former Ghana U20 midfielder, known for his skill and presence on the field, found himself in a regrettable situation as his lifted leg connected with a Hammarby player in the air.

Despite showing remorse after the incident, Baidoo was shown the red card.

This disciplinary action marks his first red card since joining the Swedish league, where he had established himself as one of the standout performers.

Unfortunately for Elfsborg, the match ended in a disappointing 3-0 defeat, marking their first loss of the season.

Nahir Besara opened the scoring for Hammarby shortly after halftime, followed by goals from Viktor Djukanovic and Jusef Erabi to seal the victory for the hosts.

Despite the setback, Baidoo had shown promise earlier in the season, contributing a goal and an assist in the season opener, indicating his potential to make a significant impact for Elfsborg.
