The 10-man United States delivers an excellent performance from start to finish, defeating Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium.
Balogun, who had an earlier goal disallowed, opened the scoring in the first half with a composed finish for the co-hosts, who were clearly the better team.
Despite playing the final half-hour a man down after Balogun’s red card, Bosnia-Herzegovina couldn’t find the net.
Pulisic saw an effort ruled out for offside before Tillman’s free-kick in the 82nd minute sealed the win.
The Stars and Stripes now advance to face Belgium in the round of 16, marking only their second World Cup knockout-stage victory ever.
The final xG stands at 0.92 to 0.25 in favor of the USA.

Moving on
By Jared SchwartzThe U.S. mostly cruised past Bosnia and advance to the Round of 16, where they will face Belgium Monday night in Seattle.
The only negative of Wednesday was that Folarin Balogun was sent off with a red card and will likely be suspended for next round.
So, the U.S. will fave their biggest test without their leading scorer — and breakout star — of this World Cup.
