A 10-man United States team 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, according to Reuters and Channel News Asia.

In a dramatic high-tempo game in the San Francisco Bay Area, 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, as reported by Al Jazeera, Reuters, and Channel News Asia.

The match was a physical encounter where luck was not always on the side of the hosts, with both Balogun and Christian Pulisic having goals ruled out. Balogun received a red card for a serious foul on Tarik Muharemovic, which appeared to be accidental, according to Al Jazeera and Reuters.

The USA team delivered impressive performances with speed and intensity, and the atmosphere was electrified by the roars of the partisan crowd, showcasing a determined effort from players including Pulisic, Balogun, Weston McKennie, and Tillman. This victory ended the U.S. team's run of 10 consecutive defeats by European opposition and set up a last-16 tie in Seattle with Belgium, who managed to come back from a two-goal deficit to defeat Senegal 3-2 after extra time, according to Al Jazeera, Reuters, and Channel News Asia.
