The United States held off Bosnia & Herzegovina 2-0 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium on Tuesday night in a 2026 World Cup Round of 32 game. The U.S. advanced to the next knockout stage and will face Belgium in the World Cup Round of 16 on Monday in Seattle.
The U.S. defeated a European national team for the first time since they accomplished it versus Bosnia & Herzegovina in December 2021. The United States won a game in the World Cup knockdown stage for just the second time ever. They got by Mexico 2-0 in South Korea back in 2002.
It became 1-0 for the United States in the 45th minute near the conclusion of the first half. Folarin Balogun placed in a left-footed shot from 14 yards away through the goalkeeper's legs.
In the second half, Balogun was given a red card and ejected from the contest during the 64th minute by taking down a player. The U.S. had to use 10 players for the remainder of the game.
The Americans increased their lead to 2-0 in the 82nd minute. Malik Tillman scored on a direct kick with his right foot from 20 yards out.
