USA Advances USMNT Beats Bosnia 2 0 for First World Cup Knockout Win Since 2002

The United States Men's National Team is headed to the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 after defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 in its first World Cup knockout stage victory since 2002.

Folarin Balogun gave the U.S. the lead just before halftime before being shown a controversial red card early in the second half following a video review. Forced to play with 10 men, the Americans withstood sustained pressure before Malik Tillman sealed the victory with a spectacular free kick in the 82nd minute.

The win sends the USMNT into a Round of 16 showdown with Belgium. Christian Pulisic says the team is focused on the next challenge as the Americans look to continue their deepest World Cup run in more than two decades.
