United States 2-0 Australia
The United States made it 2 wins from 2 and took control of Group D, while Australia was made to wait for a place in the next round.
How the match went
The United States got its lead in a lucky way in the 11th minute, when Australia's Cameron Burgess turned the ball into his own net by mistake.
That is called an own goal, which is when a player accidentally scores into their own team's goal, so it counts for the other team and made it 1-0 to the United States.
Alex Freeman then doubled the lead in the 43rd minute to make it 2-0 to the United States at the break.
The second half saw no more goals, so the game finished 2-0.
The win puts the United States at the top of Group D with 6 points and 2 wins from 2, after it had beaten Paraguay 4-1 in its opener, and it is almost sure of a place in the next round.
Australia, who had beaten Turkey 2-0 in its opener, is 2nd with 3 points and still has work to do to go through.
