USA vs. Australia Live Updates, Score: U.S. Advance To Round Of 32 With Victory
Updated: Jun 19, 2026 - 5:46 PM ET
The U.S. has clinched a spot in the round of 32 after a 2-0 victory against Australia on Friday.
For the second straight game, the Americans opened the scoring on an opponent's own goal, becoming the first side in men's FIFA World Cup history to benefit from that result. Alex Freeman increased the lead, pouncing on a deflection inside the six-yard box. The U.S. closed out a shutout as Chris Richards was brilliant in defense. After another impressive showing, the U.S. sit atop Group D with six points, and could clinch Friday night pending the results of Paraguay-Türkiye.
Here are the top plays from USA's win against Australia:
