U.S. beats Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 to advance to round of 16 and keep its World Cup dreams alive
- In the 64th minute of Wednesday's World Cup match in Santa Clara, Calif., American forward Folarin Balogun received a red card following a VAR review for a foul against Bosnia defender Tarik Muharemovic.
- Before his dismissal, Balogun put the United States ahead 1-0 in the 45th minute, converting a deflected pass from Malik Tillman for his third goal of the tournament.
- Brazilian referee Raphael Claus issued the red card after reviewing footage of Balogun dragging his cleats down the back of Muharemovic's leg, forcing the USMNT to play with 10 men for more than 25 minutes remaining.
- The ejection marks the fifth American red card in World Cup history and the first since 2006, placing Balogun in rare company with former USMNT players Pablo Mastroeni and Eddie Pope.
- If the Americans advance, Balogun will be suspended for the upcoming match against Belgium, leaving the USMNT to compete without their leading goal scorer in the Round of 16.
