Balogun scored for the U.S. in the first half.
Bosnia and Herzegovina appeared to feel some kind of momentum from the red card as they increased the offensive pressure on the U.S. men’s national team.
Balogun started the game with a few shots on goal and had one taken away because he was ruled offside. He later buried one off a touch from Malik Tillman. He’s been one of the more exciting players for the U.S. in the tournament.
Tillman later scored on a free kick to make the match, 2-0.
