Monaco forward Folarin Balogun put Mauricio Pochettino’s men in front on the 45 minute mark, notching his third goal of the tournament.

USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina AI Second Half Prediction
As the teams emerge for the second half, Mauricio Pochettino’s side will likely maintain their high press to suffocate any Bosnian attempts to build from the back.
Bosnia has shown flashes of danger on the counter-attack—specifically through the veteran presence of Edin Džeko—and they will be forced to push more bodies forward as the clock winds down.
This increased aggression from the “Dragons” should create more space in behind for Christian Pulisic and Malik Tillman to exploit.
While Bosnia will continue to play with nothing to lose, the U.S. midfield anchored by Tyler Adams has looked extremely stable, preventing any sustained pressure.
Expect the Americans to manage the tempo, look for a second goal to put the game beyond reach, and ultimately secure their place in the Round of 16.
Final Score Prediction: USA 2–0 Bosnia & Herzegovina
The U.S. is expected to double their lead midway through the second half, effectively neutralizing any late surges from the Bosnian side and comfortably seeing out the result in front of the home crowd in Santa Clara.
