USA vs Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32, played July 1 in Santa Clara, ended 2-0 to the USA, with goals from Folarin Balogun and Malick Tillman securing the co-hosts' first World Cup knockout win since 2002.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, who had qualified by beating Italy on penalties in the European playoff, were appearing in their first-ever World Cup knockout stage after advancing as a third-place qualifier from Group B, where they drew Canada 1-1, lost 1-4 to Switzerland and beat Qatar 3-1. The USA's own group-stage form as co-hosts, winning Group D with wins over Paraguay and Australia around a loss to Turkiye, carried them into the knockout rounds, and this win, even with a man down for long stretches, kept that momentum going for one more match.
