A stellar performance from start to finish lifted the 10-man Team USA to a 2-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. Balogun, who was disallowed a goal in the first half, scored the first goal of the first half to complete the victory for the hosts, who were clearly the better team in the match. Despite the Americans losing a player in the final half hour to Balogun’s red card, Bosnia-Herzegovina didn’t do enough to ensure they found the back of the net. Pulisic saw a joint effort ruled out for offside before Tillman’s 82nd-minute free-kick sealed the deal and the Stars and Stripes moved ahead to face Belgium in the last 16, winning just the second World Cup knockout game in their history. xG on a consistent basis is between 0.92 and 0.25 for the US. Thanks for tuning in to this live text commentary. Take care and until next time.

FULL WORK: USA – BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA 2:0.
90’+9′
ANOTHER CHANCE! Mahmic decides to take another try after he starts moving with the ball and will go forward before taking the shot. Once again, it just hit the post, but the US defense looked worried for a second.
90’+8′
CHANCE! Makhmich shoots at goal from long range, but the ball deviates from the target. Freeze was of course worried about this, but he didn’t have to save himself.
90’+6′
The ball falls to Freeman in the box but the attempt is wild and Bosnia-Herzegovina are given a goal kick.
90’+5′
Tillman earns a free kick with another good job forcing Memich to foul out. The United States is brilliantly stalling for time, hoping to complete the victory.
