Late Drama Sees Ghana Edge Panama with 95th-Minute Winner
What a way to kick off a World Cup campaign! Ghana stunned Panama with a stoppage-time 1-0 victory in a rainy Toronto opener. Panama controlled the first half, testing goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi with a venomous volley and creating several dangerous chances. Ghana failed to register a shot before the break and lost Ati Zigi to injury at half-time. Coach Carlos Queiroz’s tactical switch and the introduction of Brandon Thomas-Asante sparked renewed energy. Ghana pressed forward and looked sharper in attack. In the 95th minute, Thomas-Asante’s low cross found 19-year-old Caleb Yirenkyi, who tapped home the winner. The dramatic victory gives Ghana three points in Group L, sitting just behind England.
