The two teams, who had never met before, arrived at the game in very different circumstances. While the USA entered as the favourites with an average of two goals per game, Guinea had already conceded three goals in their first two matches of the tournament.
The Americans started the match with significant pressure and took the lead early, with Mihailovic scoring from a free kick in the 13th minute. Less than 20 minutes later, Paredes added to the score with a finish in the 30th minute, making it 2-0 for the USA. After the break, Paredes scored again to seal the victory for the American team.
The USA is now preparing for the knockout stage, having had a strong group stage performance, losing only to host nation France. Guinea, on the other hand, has no prospects for a medal.
While the American team could be a surprise in the tournament, Guinea, considered an underdog, had a poor campaign. The Guinean team finished last in Group B, with the worst overall performance in the tournament, alongside Uzbekistan. They lost their opening match to New Zealand and also fell to France, leaving them without any points and showcasing a very fragile team.
