Ghana secured a 1-0 victory over Panama in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The decisive goal came in the 95th minute from Caleb Yirenkyi, who scored after steering in a cross from Brandon Thomas-Asante. The match, which took place in Toronto, was described by some outlets as having few clear chances and a "poor spectacle," with a draw appearing likely for much of the game.
The late goal allowed Ghana to claim three points and join England at the top of Group L. The game was played in rainy conditions, according to one source.
An unusual incident during the match, reported by Sigmalive on June 19, involved Ghana fans in the stands performing what was described as an "unusual ritual of 'magic'" while the score was 0-0, which generated discussion on social media.
