Ghana 1 - 0 Panama

Ghana snags a dramatic 1-0 victory over Panama in Toronto, with the latest goal scored in this World Cup so far!

The Black Stars were second-best in a disjointed first half, as Waterman and Ramos threatened for Panama.

But the second half saw Ghana level out, with Semenyo driving the attack.

He was central again, sliding a ball across goal that begged to be tapped in, only for Ramos to make a stunning goal-saving challenge on Ayew.

Then, in the 95th minute, Toronto erupted as Thomas-Asante burst past Cordoba and squared it for Yirenkyi to finish from point-blank range.

Panama had one last chance, with goalkeeper Mosquera winning the first contact from a dead ball, but Diaz couldn't generate the power to force it over the line.

It's a vital three points for the African side and a brutal loss for Panama, who now face a mountain to climb in Group L.

Ghana prepares for England next, while Panama must beat Croatia.

That's all from us here!

SCRAMBLE!

Panama nearly pulls off an unbelievable, instant response!

A last-gasp free kick is hurled in from the near side, and goalkeeper Mosquera charges forward, rises above everyone, and wins the first contact.

His header drops perfectly for Diaz to nod goalwards, but Asare reacts sharply and gathers before bodies pile in.

GOAL!

GHANA SCORES AT THE LAST!

HOW IMPORTANT MIGHT THAT BE?!

It's 1-0!

Semenyo is once again at the heart of the action, linking play as he has all half, and he releases Thomas-Asante down the left.

The Coventry City man just beats Cordoba to the ball and slides it across the face of goal, where Yirenkyi stretches, stabs, and forces it over the line.

Toronto erupts in a wave of African joy, and for Panama, it's pure heartbreak.

SAVED!

Semenyo, who has been pulling the strings for Ghana this half, slides in Thomas-Asante.

The forward opens his body, aiming for the bottom-right corner, but Mosquera reads it superbly and shuts down the angle to deny what looked like a certain winner.

The flag then goes up for offside, so it wouldn't have counted anyway.

Ghana 0 - 0 Panama

Panama finished bottom of their group in 2018, losing all three matches and conceding 11 goals.

A scoreless draw tonight might not be the dream result, but it would be their first-ever point at a World Cup finals.

That's surely a source of real pride for Los Canaleros.
