Ghana has kicked off their 2026 World Cup campaign in Group L with a thrilling 1-0 triumph over Panama.
The sole and decisive goal arrived in the most dramatic fashion possible, with young talent Caleb Yirenkyi netting the winner in the 95th minute of the match.
This late strike not only secured three vital points for Carlos Queiroz's squad but also stands as the latest match-winning goal witnessed in the tournament thus far.
The assist for the memorable goal came from Brandon Thomas-Asante, a player who plies his trade with Coventry.
His contribution was crucial in setting up Yirenkyi for his moment of glory.
The victory, achieved in Toronto, provides a significant morale boost and a strong start for the Black Stars as they look to progress.
Panama, on the other hand, will be disappointed with the outcome, having fought hard throughout the game.
They were unable to muster a response in the frantic final moments, ultimately falling victim to Yirenkyi's late heroics and leaving with nothing from their opening fixture.
