Copa América: USA vs. Bolivia live updates, score, highlights as USMNT takes 2-0 lead into halftime

Must read

The U.S. men’s national team is looking to make some waves, playing at home in Copa América 2024 and the Stars and Stripes open group play Sunday against Bolivia at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The No. 2-ranked side in the CONCACAF rankings are in Group C with Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay, which is favored to win the group.

Bolivia currently sits ninth in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying rankings. The two sides last met in a 2018 friendly, which the U.S. won 3-0.

The USMNT is in Copa América for a fifth time, having finished in fourth twice — in 1995 and again at the Copa América Centenario in 2016 which was also held in the United States.

  • Dates: Sunday, June 23

  • Location: AT&T Stadium | Arlington, Texas

  • Time: 6 p.m. ET

Live39 updates

  • 68′ Substitution

    Carmelo Algaranaz replaces Bruno Miranda for Bolivia.

  • 65′ Substitution

    USMNT replaces Folarin Balogun with Ricardo Pepi and Gio Reyna with Johnny Cardoso.

  • Johnny coming on for Gio

    Berhalter shutting up shop

  • Tim Ream concern

    Ream appears to be struggling with something, though it’s unclear what.

    Matt Turner just tossed the ball out of bounds so that he Ream could figure it out. Ream dropped into a crouch. Athletic trainers never came to check on him, so it looks like he’ll continue. But we’ll see if that concern lingers, and we’ll see if Ream lasts 90 minutes.

  • 53′ Balogun nearly gets his second

  • 49′ Yellow card

    Weston McKennie earns his first booking after a tough challenge.

  • Halftime substitution for the U.S.

    Yunus Musah enters for Tyler Adams.

    Adams is surely on some sort of minutes limit. Whether the pre-determined limit was 45, or whether it was more but Berhalter decided the game was in control, we don’t (yet) know.

  • 46′ Substitution

    Yunus Musah replaces Tyler Adams for the U.S. On the Bolivian side, Miguel Terceros comes in for Cesar Menacho.

  • HALFTIME: USA 2-0 Bolivia

    The USMNT heads into the half with a comfortable 2-0 lead after goals from Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun.

  • Balogun really needed that

    “Balo” has been struggling for club and country. He had a pretty rough first 43 minutes tonight. His confidence seemed to be on the basement floor.

    Perhaps the goal will ignite him. If so, it would be a massive development for the USMNT at this Copa América.

  • 2-0! Balogun!

    Just as it seemed the first half was petering out, and familiar problems were plaguing the U.S. in the final third … Folarin Balogun peels off the back shoulder of his Bolivian defender, takes a pass from Christian Pulisic, shifts the ball onto his left foot, and finishes across Bolivian keeper Guillermo Viscarra.

    That’s 2-0 and, probably, game over. (Bolivia has offered nothing going forward.)

  • 44′ GOAL

    Folarin Balogun gives the USMNT a 2-0 lead thanks to a Christian Pulisic assist.

  • If not for the early Pulisic goal …

    … the USMNT fan base would be on edge right now. Over the past 30 minutes, it’s been a B-minus performance, at best. And all the momentum of the opening 10 minutes has fizzled. Crowd has quieted. Possession has been neither progressive nor clean.

    Still 1-0. And if it stays that way until halftime, honestly, from an American perspective, that’d be a bit disappointing.

  • Another Bolivian yellow card …

    And this one was all about a clever U.S. buildup.

    The American defenders swung the ball right to left, to Antonee Robinson. He found a line-skipping passing lane into Folarin Balogun’s feet. Balogun laid the ball off to Gio Reyna, who skipped past Bolivia’s Luis Haquin. Haquin’s only option was to take Reyna down.

  • 31′ Yellow card

    Reyna causes another booking, this time against Bolivia’s Luis Haquin

  • 27′ Yellow card

    Bolivia’s Leonel Justiniano was just booked for a rough tackle on USMNT’s Gio Reyna.

  • Gio Reyna goes down with a knock

    He’s back up, and it looks like he’ll be fine. But it was a somewhat nasty tackle from Bolivia’s Leonel Justiniano. Earns a yellow card.
