Belgium leads the United States 2-1 at halftime in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match at Lumen Field in Seattle.

The U.S. squad, featuring striker Folarin Balogun, trails despite aiming to advance past this stage for the first time since 2002. The current scoreline mirrors previous defensive struggles for the Americans.

The second half is critical. Key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku will be pivotal for Belgium's effort to secure a quarterfinal spot.
