CHRISTIAN PULISIC netted the only goal of the game to send his country into the last-16.
The Chelsea winger scored goal before half-time as he got onto the end of a Sergino Dest header to convert before clattering into the goalkeeper.
It remains to be seen as to the extent of the clash, with Pulisic being substituted in the second period.
Timothy Weah thought he had doubled his side’s advantage, running through to score, but the flag was up as he was deemed to be offside.
Finishing second in Group B, the USA now face Louis Van Gaal’s Netherlands in the knockout round.
