Yeah (in fact, you can be 'sent off' after the final whistle has been blown). However, in this case, you'd have to argue the the Ghanaian player showed intent to injure the Italian - in my opinion, there was no intent; it was just that he was crap at tackling.
As I said, as the last man,
technically, he should have been sent off but, again technically, there was no infringement of the rules as play had stopped

It is strange, no question about it. However, if play has stopped, there is no foul - again, IMO, there was no particular intent, it was just a poor tackle...
