USA 0-0 Bosnia & Herzegovina LIVE Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Last 32: Robinson Arrives Late But Couldn't Make Most

The United States has squandered another prime opportunity to take the lead in Santa Clara. Weston McKennie exploited significant space on the flank as the Bosnian defensive structure faltered, allowing him time to pick out Antonee Robinson with an inviting cross. Robinson met the delivery, but his headed effort sailed over the bar. It was a golden chance for the USMNT to break the deadlock and capitalize on their growing momentum, yet the match remains scoreless as we approach the final fifteen minutes of the first half.

The United States has missed a golden opportunity to break the deadlock at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. Following a surging run down the flank, Antonee Robinson delivered a pinpoint cross just before the ball crossed the touchline. Folarin Balogun connected with the delivery in the box, but his resulting effort drifted wide, failing to challenge the Bosnian goalkeeper. It remains a scoreless stalemate as both sides continue to trade momentum in this high-intensity Round of 32 clash.

Veteran captain Edin Džeko showed his composure by holding up the ball before laying it off to strike partner Ermedin Demirović.

Demirović’s ensuing effort was smartly denied by U.S. goalkeeper Matt Freese, who kept the scores level. The resulting play forced a corner kick for the visitors, highlighting the danger Bosnia poses on the counter-attack as they look to frustrate the co-hosts early on.

Christian Pulisic has already signaled his intent early on, forcing a corner kick after a dangerous driving run towards the Bosnian box was deflected by the defense.

The U.S. side, led by Mauricio Pochettino, is looking to assert control early in front of a home crowd, while Bosnia and Herzegovina—captained by Edin Džeko—are maintaining a disciplined defensive shape as they aim for their first-ever World Cup knockout round victory.

The United States men’s national soccer team delivered a historic group stage campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, finishing at the top of Group D with six points. The team’s performance was highlighted by an explosive start, as they secured back-to-back victories against Paraguay (4-1) and Australia (2-0) to qualify for the knockout stage after only two matches—the fastest advancement in the tournament's current format. Throughout these games, the U.S. showcased a potent attack, recording eight goals across their three group matches, the highest-scoring group stage in the program's history. Although a heavily rotated side fell 3-2 to Türkiye in their final group fixture, the result did not impact their standing, as they had already clinched the top spot. This historic run marked the third time the USMNT has won its group at a World Cup, setting a confident tone as they moved into the Round of 32.
