The United States reached the World Cup round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, with Malik Tillman scoring from a free kick to see the 10-man co-hosts home after Folarin Balogun was sent off having opened the scoring in the first half.
Folarin Balogun gave the United States an early lead by scoring his third goal of the tournament, but his night soon took a serious turn.

He received a straight red card after accidentally landing on a Bosnia defender’s ankle, which will now keep him out of the United States’ Round of 16 match against Belgium in Seattle on July 6.
After going down to 10 men, Malik Tillman curled a free kick into the net to double the Americans’ lead.
The United States reached the knockout stage after winning its first two group matches comfortably, but it lost 3-2 to Turkiye in its final group match.
