USA Seal Round of 16 Spot with 2-0 Win Over Australia
The United States booked their place in the World Cup knockout stage after a commanding 2-0 victory over Australia in their Group D clash. An early own goal from Australia’s Cameron Burgess in the 11th minute gave the Americans the lead. They dominated possession and probed the Australian defence through Sergino Dest, Weston McKennie and Folarin Balogun. Alex Freeman doubled the advantage with a stoppage-time header before half-time. Australia introduced fresh legs after the break but struggled to create clear chances. Mauricio Pochettino’s side saw out the win with smart substitutions and disciplined defending.
