United States 2, Australia 0
The United States has qualified for the knockout stage after defeating Australia 2-0 in Seattle.
The Americans went into this match missing star Christian Pulisic, who was out with a calf injury. Ricardo Pepi started in his place.
The United States persevered, though, and took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute after Cameron Burgess' own goal.
Striker Folarin Balogun made a great run down the left side and fired a cross. Burgess attempted to clear, but it went into the back of the net. It was a great effort from the Americans, who turned up the pressure early and never looked back.
The United States later went up 2-0 after Alex Freeman headed the ball into the net in the 43rd minute. The play was initially ruled offside, but after VAR review, it was deemed Freeman just stayed onside before the goal.
On a set piece, Antonee Robinson found Sergiรฑo Dest, who fired a shot outside the box, but it was blocked. However, Freeman tracked the ball perfectly and then headed it in.
For the match, the United States possessed the ball 62.1 percent of the time and had 10 shot attempts to Australia's five. Goalkeeper Matt Freese got the clean sheet and made two saves.
The United States is moving on but still has one more group play match on Thursday, June 25 at 10 p.m. ET in Los Angeles. Australia will close Group D on the same day and time against Paraguay in Santa Clara, California.
