FIFA WC: Balogun Brace Powers Dominant USA To 4-1 Victory Over Paraguay In Opener
FIFA World Cup: Folarin Balogun struck twice as the United States launched their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign in emphatic fashion, cruising to a 4-1 victory over Paraguay in their Group D clash at SoFi Stadium in California on Saturday.
Playing a World Cup match at home for the first time since 1994, the co-hosts took control from the start and rarely let Paraguay get into the game. An early own goal from Damian Bobadilla set the tone. Then, Balogun's two goals in the first half put Mauricio Pochettino's team firmly in charge.
Paraguay managed to score through Mauricio in the second half, but Gio Reyna's fantastic goal in stoppage time ensured the Americans kicked off their tournament with a solid win and three important points.
