USA makes history at World Cup with own goals

The U.S. team achieved a historic record at the 2026 World Cup, scoring two goals thanks to opponent own goals. In the match against Australia, which took place in the 10th minute, the Americans took the lead thanks to an own goal by Burgess. This is the second such case during this tournament, previously a similar situation occurred in the match against Paraguay, which ended with a 4-1 victory for the USA.  Team USA controls the match, having 75% of the ball and using high pressing, which forces opponents to make defensive mistakes. Australia, which plays defensively, has difficulty developing effective actions. In the next group match, which will take place on June 26, the USA will face Turkey. With six points on his account, coach Berhalter may decide to rotate the squad, resting key players before the next stages of the tournament. --- ## Related Articles 1.
