USA Advances Despite Red Card Blow | Sacramento News

U.S. Men’s National Team advances to the Round of 16 after a dramatic 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, marking only the second time in history they’ve reached this stage. Folarin Balogun opened the scoring in the 45th minute after a controversial offside call earlier and a crossbar hit, but his momentum ended abruptly when he was sent off in the 64th minute for a reckless tackle that injured an opponent — forcing the U.S. to play the rest of the match down a man.
