Danielson was initially awarded a yellow after his attempted clearance ended with him catching Besedin on the follow-through.
However, Italian referee Daniele Orsato was advised to have another look at the tackle.
Danielson’s red card meant he became only the fourth player to receive his marching orders in extra-time of a Euros match.
Ukraine would go on to win the match 2-1.
