The match ended 4-1 in favour of Belgium at Dallas Stadium, with the U.S. limited to only seven shots on target out of 15 total shots, ten of which were inside the Belgium box. Despite the heavy defeat, the U.S. achieved its highest number of wins in a single tournament edition, and striker Folarin Balogon stood out as the team’s top performer. cat-cross.com

Former U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer Alexi Lalas said the team should be proud of drawing a crowd and pushing the nation forward, but he also called the result a disappointment, noting that “moral victories” have run out and the understated performance must be addressed for future growth.
