Folarin Balogun scored before being sent off, creating a suspension that will keep him out of the U.S. match with Belgium on July 6 in Seattle.

Overview

  • The United States beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Wednesday, with referee Raphael Claus overseeing the match.
  • Folarin Balogun opened the scoring for the U.S. before receiving a direct red card for a foul in the 64th minute and will miss the next game through suspension.
