The United States men’s soccer team defeated Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 on Wednesday night, advancing to the round of 16 in the World Cup.

US Team Performance
The US team dominated the first half, with Balogun scoring in the 45th minute. However, the team had to scramble after Balogun’s foul against Tarik Muharemovic in the 64th minute, which resulted in a red card. Despite being down a man, the US team held on and Tillman’s goal in the 82nd minute secured the win.
The US will now face Belgium in the round of 16 on Monday in Seattle. This win marks the US team’s second World Cup knockout round victory, with the first being against Mexico in 2002.
