The United States beat Bosnia 2-0 and remain alive at the 2026 World Cup, a tournament they are hosting alongside Canada and Mexico. It was dramatic: a Balogun goal, a red card, and a Malik Tillman free kick to finish the job.
Quick answer: Playing at home changes everything. The crowd pushes, every attack feels louder and every defensive moment carries extra pressure. The United States used that energy early, then had to survive after the red card.
