SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The U.S. World Cup team had the lead but no longer had control. The first-half goal scorer, Folarin Balogun, was in the locker room after receiving a red card, leaving Mauricio Pochettino’s gang down a man for at least 26 minutes.
A trip to the Round of 16, seemingly within reach moments earlier, was suddenly in jeopardy against Bosnia and Herzegovina at jam-packed Levi’s Stadium.
Then in the 82nd minute, when defending and determination were paramount, Malik Tillman put the outcome to rest with a free kick as pretty as the Bay Area weather.
The midfielder lifted the ball over the wall and into the left side of the net, punctuating a 2-0 victory and setting a date with Belgium on Monday in Seattle.

I can hardly believe we advanced!
Admittedly, I am no authority on Soccer, but it appeared to me thst the US was getting the shaft by the refs....
Belgium will be tough!................
Were they Russian or Iranian?..............
Especially without Balogun.
I think he was from Brazil, but not totally sure.
He missed several calls, but finally pulled out the yellow for BIH near the end. I think the straight red was the wrong call, and I wonder if it can be appealed.
F Bosnia! and F Herzegovina!
Dirty bastards, glad they’re going home.
Should have been Senegal, they blew a 2-0 lead late.
We not only advanced, we look great, dominating possession, even a man down, we were still in control. Could have easily scored two more goals.
I must say though, Mexico has looked great, as well. I think France is the only team they can’t beat.
Hard to believe. I thought Senegal was the better team.
They were healthy favorites.
And DR Congo blew it against England.
We do look great, but I’m a worry wart when I want to win. I’m not objective.
Oh believe me, I’m the same way, I thought we were doomed when Balogun got his red card.
I’m sure they will appeal the suspension, but I don’t think it’s going to work. And we’ll really need him against Belgium, you saw the drop-off on this team against Turkey without the starters.
Yeah, that was a great game, too!
Same here. I know very little about soccer rules, but it felt like USMNT were being ripped off. And I guess Balogun won’t be playing in the next round?
They got rocked by a Harrycane.
