Commentary
That's all from me for now. Thanks for joining us and see you again next time!
It's all over, and it's two wins from two for the USA following a comfortable 2-0 victory over Australia as the co-hosts booked their place in the knockout rounds! The USA took the lead when Burgess scored an own goal after 11 minutes and Freeman added a second just before half-time, with a VAR review required to ensure his header was allowed to stand. Popovic made three changes at half-time, but there was no deviation in Australia's approach to the game, as they continued to sit back and let the USA control possession. The Socceroos eventually started to threaten, but it was too little too late, with the hosts having very little to worry about as they saw out the three points. The USA only managed one shot in the second half, which added just 0.1 to their xG from the opening period. Still, with Australia only mustering three efforts for a combined xG of 0.32, their win never really looked in doubt. The result means that if Turkiye do not beat Paraguay later, the USA will be guaranteed to finish top of the group and face a third-placed team in the round of 32. Australia, meanwhile, will have to wait and see what they'll need to do to advance in their final match against Paraguay. That's all for today, thanks for joining us, goodbye!
FULL-TIME: USA 2-0 AUSTRALIA.
Wright gets away on the left and dribbles along the top of the box before finally pulling the trigger. The shot is blocked and the flag goes up for an offside decision in the build-up anyway.

There's a great reception for McKennie, who makes way for Reyna.

Balogun's game is done and he goes off to a standing ovation, with Wright replacing him.
