Live coverage of this event has concluded.
Team USA's Christian Pulisic scored and injured himself in one glorious and painful moment Tuesday, as the United States recorded a 1-0 victory over Iran in its do-or-die game.
Pulisic, a Hershey, Pennsylvania, native, suffered an abdominal injury while crashing into Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand in what turned out to be the winning play late in the first half.
Pulisic was substituted out at halftime, and his availability for America’s next match was not immediately known. The team later said he had a pelvic contusion.
The United States will play in the round of 16 against the Netherlands at 10 a.m. EST on Saturday.
Making knockout play was a major achievement for the United States, which failed to qualify for the 2018 tournament in Russia.

No word yet on the status of Christian Pulisic going forward
The health of American goal scorer Christian Pulisic was not known in the moments after the United States' 1-0 victory over Iran.
U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said his star's status was unknown. The team has fewer than 96 hours to prepare for its round-of-16 game against the Netherlands on Saturday.
"No update on his status," the coach said. "I've been saying all along, it's a wonderful thing when one of your best players is also one of the hardest working, and he's certainly that. I can't say enough positive things about Christian."
The follically challenged Berhalter said the final moments of the match were almost too much to handle.
"I think I have less hair on my head now, but we'll take it and we'll move on," he said.

United States survives a late Iranian challenge
Iran nearly drew a penalty in one of the final kicks of the United States' thrilling 1-0 victory.
Mehdi Taremi went down under pressure from Cameron Carter-Vickers but still pushed the ball through past U.S. goalkeeper Matt Turner, as it rolled toward the U.S. goal before a last-moment clearance by Walker Zimmerman.
Iranian players and coaches screamed for a penalty to be called against Carter-Vickers for putting a hand on Taremi's shoulders.
But officials ruled that contact wasn't enough for a whistle.
