The United States beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 to advance to the World Cup round of 16 in Santa Clara, despite playing with 10 men after a red card to forward Folarin Balogun. Multiple reports describe Balogun giving the U.S. the lead in the first half, including one account placing the goal in the 45th minute, with the Americans creating chances and controlling much of the early play. His performance then shifts after an incident in the second half: Balogun is sent off around the 64th minute following a foul challenge on Bosnia defender Tarik Muharemovic. With the U.S. shorthanded, the team holds its shape and protects the lead for the remainder of the match. The second goal comes later, with sources noting a goal credited to Malik Tillman—described in at least one report as a free-kick that seals the win. Several outlets also frame the result as a historic advance for the U.S., noting it reaches the knockout stage for the last 16 and records a rare World Cup knockout win since 2002. The U.S. also faces Belgium in the round of 16, while Balogun is expected to miss that match due to suspension.
