The United States men's national team secured their spot in the Round of 16 of the World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in Santa Clara, California. Striker Folarin Balogun netted the only goal of the match but was shown a red card midway through the second half, leaving his team to hold on for the win. Bosnia put up little resistance as the USA dominated possession and created several chances. Balogun's goal was his third of the tournament, but his suspension will be a blow for the knockout stage. The American side now looks ahead to their last-16 opponent.
