The Americans fought hard to find a breakthrough inside the home of the San Francisco 49ers.

Folarin Balogun gave the Americans a much-needed halftime advantage with a strike in the 45th minute.

Balogun was at the center of another key moment in the 64th minute, when he was controversially sent off for a challenge on Tarik Muharemovic.

The decision was made after a lengthy discussion with the VAR. The red card means Balogun won't be able to play against Belgium. He is the USMNT's leading scorer at the World Cup.

Malik Tillman provided some needed insurance in the 82nd minute, when he struck a free kick into the back of the net.

Bosnia and Herzegovina attempted to make a late push at Matt Freese's goal, but it failed to get anything past the USMNT netminder.

The 2-0 win marked the first time in the tournament that the USMNT held a clean sheet.

Next up for the Americans is a trip to Seattle to face Belgium in the round of 16, a rematch of a knockout-round game in 2014 that the Belgians won.
