🇺🇸 USA make history at the World Cup of own goals

🇺🇸 USA make history at the World Cup of own goals The U.S. has scored without scoring again: they have now benefited from two consecutive own goals in a World Cup and have just set a historic record The United States took the lead against Australia in the 10th minute thanks to a Burgess own goal, the second in a row conceded by one of their opponents at this 2026 World Cup.  The stat makes the North American team the subject of an unprecedented record, going beyond even a mere curiosity: the U.S. have played two matches and neither of their opening goals has been scored by one of their own players. Against Paraguay, in their opener, an own goal also paved the way for the eventual 4-1 win. The U.S. team is controlling the match with 75% possession and high pressing that is forcing defensive errors from the opposition. Australia, sitting deep, is not finding many solutions. The U.S.’s third group-stage match will be against Turkey on June 26. With six points already in the bag, Berhalter could go into that game with room to rotate.
