The United States men’s soccer team has advanced to the round of 16 in the World Cup after defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0. Folarin Balogun scored the first goal in the 45th minute, and Malik Tillman added a second goal in the 81st minute on a free kick.
Red Card Controversy
Balogun was sent off with a red card in the 64th minute after challenging Bosnia’s Tarik Muharemović, causing his ankle to roll. The US team played one man down for the rest of the match.
Despite the setback, the US team persevered and secured the win. “We had to dig deep for that one,” said star Christian Pulisic. “It didn’t go exactly to plan with the red card, but that just shows what a good team we are.”
Next Match
The US team will face Belgium in the next round on Monday in Seattle. The US hopes to make a deep run in the tournament on home soil.
