The USA dominated Group D with a commanding 4-1 victory over Paraguay at SoFi Stadium. Folarin Balogun proved instrumental, scoring twice to anchor a convincing performance that saw the Americans control possession at sixty-five percent and register sixteen total shots. Paraguay struck first through Mauricio's finish, but the hosts overwhelmed their opponents with superior technical execution. Balogun's brace and goals from Reyna sealed the result, though Paraguay salvaged a consolation through a late effort. The statistical disparity was stark: the USA created clear chances while Paraguay managed just one shot on goal. With six points, the USA have mathematically qualified from Group D. Paraguay remain alive in the competition with four points, though their disciplinary record—five yellow cards—presents a concern moving forward.
