INGLEWOOD, Calif., June 26 (Our Los Angeles) — The United States men’s national team fell to Türkiye 3-2 on Thursday night in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium, but the loss did not change its tournament path: the Americans had already clinched first place in Group D and are set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32 on July 1.

Auston Trusty and Sebastian Berhalter scored for the U.S. Türkiye answered with goals from Arda Güler and Barış Alper Yılmaz, and Kaan Ayhan delivered the winner in stoppage time.

The match drew 70,492.

The Americans had already secured the top spot in the group before the final Group D game, following earlier wins over Paraguay and Australia.
