Folarin Balogun's brace makes him only the second USA player to score multiple goals in a single World Cup match. The only other is Bert Patenaude, who actually scored a hat-trick (10', 15', 50') vs Paraguay on 17 July 1930 - and, like Balogun, had two of those in the first half. Find the latest game stats here:
