Depends if the player deserved it
As I understand it, play had technically stopped, so no infringement of the rules has taken place. In this instance, while it was a bad tackle, there was nothing the ref could do about it - the Ghanaian didn't necessarily know that the linesman had his flag raised. Doesn't excuse the tackle, but them's the breaks
