The United States men’s national team is looking to secure a spot in the Round of 16. 
Standing in their way are underdog Bosnia-Herzegovina, which is playing in its first World Cup knockout match. 
The New York Post 
Kick off is 8 p.m. 
ET from San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, where USMNT star Christian Pulisic is “ready” to play after missing time during the group stage. 
Follow The Post’s live updates for World Cup scores, news, reaction and highlights. 
Eventually, all the U.S. pressure paid off. 
They enter halftime with a deserved 1-0 lead. 
Can they put their foot and take a commanding lead in the second half? 
HALF-TIME: The USA has dominated the first half and thoroughly deserves its lead. 
Despite only five attempts, their lone shot on target has them up on the Bosnians. 
The Americans finished the half with 62% possession and 89% pass accuracy. 
Balogun's goal, with a bit of luck, is the difference. 
The USA leads in xG 0.73 to 0.04 at the break. 
45+11' 
United States 1 - 0 Bosnia 
HALF-TIME! 
The United States leads Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0 at the break in this FIFA World Cup match at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. 
45+9' 
Adams comes in late and catches Alajbegovic in the head with his knee as Alajbegovic was going to ground. 
Alajbegovic is down for a few moments. 
45+8' 
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TWO! 
The USA breaks down Bosnia-Herzegovina with some lovely play. 
Adams finds Dest with a delightful dink, and the PSV man picks out Balogun, who can only put his shot off the crossbar and out. 
The Bosnians are lucky to still be down by only one goal. 
45+6' 
Pulisic wins a free kick for the USA on the left side, a chance for the co-hosts to double their lead just before halftime. 
45+5' 
Bosnia-Herzegovina is trying to finish the first half strong, but they've spent most of the 45 minutes defending. 
They still haven't created anything significant. 
45+2' 
Play is stopped as Adams is down and needs assistance after a collision with Dzeko. 
This looks serious, given how long the full-back has been on the field. 
45' 
United States · Attacker · #20 
GOAL! 
UNITED STATES! 
They finally take the lead! 
Despite not creating many meaningful chances in the first half, Balogun scores to put them ahead. 
Tillman's pass deflects off two Bosnian players, sending it right to Balogun, who makes no mistake finishing one-on-one with Vasilj. 
It's 1-0 for the co-hosts! 
42' 
United States 0 - 0 Bosnia 
The ensuing free kick goes to Balogun, but he can only direct his attempt wide of the target. 
Vasilj is happy not to have to make a save there, with a goal kick coming Bosnia's way. 
41' 
Muharemovic steps lightly on Balogun, who goes down after feeling the contact. 
The referee blows his whistle and awards the USA a free kick.
