What the video says
The United States men's soccer team just shattered decades of historical frustration on the world stage. A 10-man American squad defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 on Wednesday to reach the World Cup last 16.
This crucial victory ends a painful 24-year wait for a World Cup knockout stage win. It also snapped a brutal streak of 10 consecutive defeats against European opposition.
The match in the San Francisco Bay Area was packed with high-stakes drama. Fowler and Balogun scored near halftime but was later sent off for an accidental-looking foul on Tariq Miramović.
Despite being down a player, Malik Tillman sealed the win with a sumptuous late free kick. All told, the Americans now head to Seattle to face Belgium in the round of 16.
