On the night of Thursday, June 18, the national teams of Ghana and Panama met as part of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.

It is noted that unexpectedly the ball was in the possession of Panama, which immediately miraculously did not open the scoring in the first minutes of the game.

However, Ghana continued to play defensively, repelling enemy attacks. At the end of the first half, the “black stars” could not even shoot once at the Panamanian players’ goal.

In the second half, Panama was forced to slow down and the game became more balanced. Ultimately, both teams began to attack actively, but there were still very few quality chances.

The result of the match was determined in added time. Nordsjaelland midfielder Kaleb Irenkyi brought Ghana three points with an accurate shot under the crossbar in the 90+5th minute.
