Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho, Garrincha … Folarin Balogun. The USMNT striker now keeps historic company with three soccer legends after his action-packed involvement in Wednesday’s round of 32 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina at the World Cup.
Balogun scored right before half time against Bosnia and Herzegovina, finding the bottom corner with a fine finish for his third goal of the World Cup. Only an offside flag had denied the Monaco player an earlier goal in the match, which the U.S. eventually won 2–0 to progress to the round of 16.
