A 10-man United States team (USA) roared into the next round of the World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, ending a 24-year wait for a knockout-stage win to keep alive hopes of a dream American run in the global showpiece.
In a dramatic high-tempo game in the San Francisco Bay Area on Wednesday, Folarin Balogun scored near halftime but was sent off after the break. Malik Tillman then doubled the lead eight minutes from time with a sumptuous free kick.
