The United States ended a 24-year wait for a FIFA World Cup knockout-stage victory with a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina to reach the Round of 16. Folarin Balogun gave the hosts the lead just before half-time but was sent off after a VAR review in the second half. Despite playing with 10 men, the Americans stayed composed as Malik Tillman scored from a superb free-kick to seal the victory. USA will now face Belgium in the Round of 16, keeping their dream of a deep World Cup run alive on home soil. (PC: NDTV)
