Commentary
An excellent performance from start to finish sees the 10-man United States get the better of Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 in San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. Balogun, who had a first-half goal disallowed, got the opening goal in the first half with a composed finish for the co-hosts, who were firmly the better team in the match. Even though the Americans played the final half an hour down a man due to Balogun's red card, Bosnia-Herzegovina did not do enough to warrant finding the back of the net. Pulisic saw a bundled effort ruled out for offside before Tillman's free-kick in the 82nd minute sealed the deal, with the Stars and Stripes moving forward to take on Belgium in the round of 16 after winning just the second World Cup knockout-stage game in their history. The xG at full-time reads 0.92 to 0.25 for the USA. Thank you for tuning into this live text commentary. Take care, and until next time.
FULL-TIME: UNITED STATES 2-0 BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA
ANOTHER CHANCE! Mahmic decides to have another effort after he moves with the ball and goes forward before having a go. Once more, it just blows by the post, but the USA defence looked worried for a second.
CHANCE! Mahmic goes for goal from distance, but the ball veers just wide of the mark. Freese was certainly concerned there, but he did not have to make a save.
The ball falls to Freeman inside the box, but the attempt is rather wild and goes out for a Bosnia-Herzegovina goal-kick.
Tillman wins a free-kick from some more good work to force a foul out of Memic. The USA are running down the clock brilliantly as they look to see out the win.
