Belgium exposed the Americans' defensive liabilities in a dominant 4-1 win, with Charles De Ketelaere scoring twice and assisting on another goal to earn a quarterfinal berth. De Ketelaere put Belgium ahead in the 9th minute — the first time in this year's World Cup the USA conceded first. Tillman's deflected free-kick in the 31st minute energized the crowd and briefly levelled the scores, but De Ketelaere restored Belgium's lead just two minutes later to complete his brace. US goalkeeper Matt Freese made a major error in the 57th minute, allowing Hans Vanaken to score easily and make it 3-1. Christian Pulisic was forced off with a knock shortly after. Romelu Lukaku came off the bench to add the fourth goal deep in stoppage time following Vanaken's determined pressing, sealing an emphatic result. Belgium advance to face Spain in Los Angeles in the quarterfinals, while the USA's tournament comes to a disappointing end in the Round of 16.
