Amar Dedic's dream is over! Benfica full-back out after USA-Bosnia | OneFootball

The United States qualified this Thursday for the World Cup round of 16 after beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 in the 10th match of the 2026 edition’s ‘round of 32’ in Santa Clara. Amar Dedic is out of the competition.

. The response came through Folarin Balogun, who threatened with a low shot sent into the side netting, but close to the opposing goalpost.

Balogun himself scored the first goal of the match in the 32nd minute with a low strike from the edge of the box, but the goal was disallowed due to an irregular position at the moment the ball was recovered. Even so, the Monaco forward would open the scoring before half-time, in the 45th minute, with a left-footed shot inside the opposition area.

In the second half, the pattern remained the same, but adversity quickly struck for the American side, as Balogun was shown a red card for stepping on Tarik Muharemovic. Reduced to ten men, the United States were forced to drop deeper and rely on defensive cohesion.

Even so, the Americans managed to extend their lead near the end. Malik Tillman, in the 82nd minute, scored the second of the match with an excellent direct free-kick who was injured - making it 2-0. The United States will face Belgium, of Dodi Lukebakio, in the “quarter-finals”.
