The U-S-M-N-T defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 Wednesday in Santa Clara, California, advancing to the Round of Sixteen for the first time since 2002. Folarin Balogun broke the deadlock right before halftime with his third goal of the tournament, but was then hit with a red card in the sixty-fourth minute — leaving the Americans to defend with ten men for over thirty minutes.
They held tough, and Malik Tillman sealed it with a stunning free kick in the eighty-second minute. Balogun will be suspended for the next match. The U-S-M-N-T faces Belgium this Monday in Seattle.
