Prior to this match, African representatives had been consistently causing surprises at the 2026 World Cup. These included the Democratic Republic of Congo drawing with Portugal, and Cape Verde forcing Spain to share the points.

Ghana is the last African representative to compete in the 2026 World Cup. They are in Group L along with England, Croatia, and Panama.

Earlier, England had beaten Croatia 4-2 in what was considered an "early final" of the group. Ghana's task was to beat the weakest team in the group, Panama, to gain an advantage in the race.

Ghana boasts a star-studded squad, spearheaded by Antoine Semenyo, who plays for Manchester City, followed by Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Sulemana, and others.

Despite having a star-studded squad, Ghana had a very difficult start. Throughout the first half, they were outplayed and failed to register a single shot.

Conversely, Panama had more possession but failed to create any significant opportunities. The match was rather boring as neither team dared to push forward.

As the match drew to a close, Ghana's physical advantage and speed gradually came into play. They accelerated their pace in the final 20 minutes and then found the opening goal in the 90+5th minute.

From the left wing, Asante sprinted forward and calmly waited for his teammates to advance before delivering a precise cross for Yirenkyi to rush in and shoot from close range, finding the back of the net against Panama.

This goal also sealed a 1-0 victory for Ghana, giving the African representatives a precious win on their opening day of the 2026 World Cup.

Croatia were probably the least happy to see Ghana score in the final minutes. Ghana now have the same 3 points as England, giving them an advantage over Croatia in the race for qualification.
