In the first half, at the 31st minute, the USA had the ball in the net after pressing Bosnia's defense and passing to Folarin Balogun, who skillfully shot inside the penalty area, hitting the near post. However, the goal was disallowed due to offside.

In stoppage time, 45+8 minutes, the hosts almost scored a second goal. Sergiño Dest headed a cross to Folarin Balogun, who darted past defenders to shoot, but the ball hit his shin and bounced off the crossbar, going out—an unfortunate miss.
