On a seminal night for Mauricio Pochettino and his players, the USMNT won their first World Cup knockout match since 2002, and their third game at these finals, to set up a last-16 tie against Belgium in Seattle on Monday.Not even the red card that Folarin Balogun was shown after a VAR review midway through the second half could knock the U.S. off course on an evening when Pochettino’s team played with courage, intensity and unwavering belief. Balogun scored the first and Malik Tillman converted a free kick to double their lead.England also claimed their place in the next round courtesy of a Harry Kane-inspired comeback against DR Congo. Trailing 1-0 deep into the second half, Thomas Tuchel’s side were facing the prospect of a humiliating defeat until Kane struck twice, first with a header and then with a ferocious shot. Mexico at the Azteca will be England’s next opponents.The game of the day took place in Seattle, though, where Belgium, who were losing 2-0 with four minutes remaining, scored twice in the space of 161 seconds to force extra time. Youri Tielemans got his second and Belgium’s third with a penalty right at the death. What is it with late goals at this World Cup?Matchday 21 resultsEngland 2-1 DR Congo
