The United States men's soccer team has advanced to the knockout round in the 2022 World Cup after Christian Pulisic scored a first half goal and held on for the victory at Al Thumama Stadium.

The USMNT has finished second in Group B and will play the Netherlands on Saturday.

Christian Pulisic, who plays for Chelsea in the EPL, gave up his body and scored on a perfect cross from Sergino Dest at the 38th minute and the young American squad held on for the 1-0 victory.

Leading up to this game, there was a lot of controversy surrounding Iran and United States in Qatar, which put another spin on the game, but in the end the players on both teams played hard.

This is the first time the USA has made it to the round of 16 since 2014.
