Match History and Rostory

The Americans secured passage by defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2‑0, with Folarin Balogun opening the scoring in the first half and Malik Tillman adding a late second‑half strike. Belgium’s path was far bumpier, falling 2‑0 to Senegal with roughly 13 minutes left before Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans each found the net inside a three‑minute span. Tielemans sealed the extra‑time victory on a 125th‑minute penalty.

Current roster differences are stark: none of the U.S. side that faced Belgium in 2014 remains, while Thibaut Courtois, Kevin De Bruyne and Lukaku stay on the Belgian roster. Belgium aims for its first quarterfinal appearance since finishing third in Russia in 2018. The U.S. carries a dual mission, seeking to avenge the 2014 defeat and reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
