The U.S. men’s national team claimed another victory in the World Cup by defeating Australia 2-0 in Seattle. This win ensures their place in the knockout round. The match saw the U.S. score through an Australian own goal and a header from Alex Freeman.

The absence of Christian Pulisic, who was out due to a calf injury, did not hinder the team’s performance. Freeman praised his teammate Ricardo Pepi for filling in well. The U.S. had previously defeated Paraguay 4-1.
