U.S. Men’s Team Triumphs Despite Red Card | Orange County News

The U.S. men’s national team pulled off a gritty, historic win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, defeating them 2-0 even after playing a man down following Folarin Balogun’s red card. Balogun opened the scoring with his third goal of the tournament, then Malik Tillman sealed it with a stunning 82nd-minute free kick. This victory marks only the second time the U.S. has won a World Cup knockout game — and they’re now headed to the Round of Sixteen to face Belgium in Seattle. It’s a major milestone, snapping a 10-game winless streak against European teams in the World Cup and proving the team’s resilience on home soil. Bosnia-Herzegovina made history too, reaching the knockout stage for the first time — but the U.S. showed why they’re favorites, advancing with grit and determination.
