Drama at the 2026 World Cup: Ghana overcomes Panama in stoppage time
As part of the 2026 World Cup matches, the Ghana national team recorded a dramatic victory today over the Panama team. As reported by Football 360, which focuses on in-depth coverage of international football, the match remained scoreless until the final minutes, when the decisive goal arrived in the 95th minute from the feet of player Yirenky, who made it 1-0 in favor of the Ghanaians. According to the same source, coach Carlos Queiroz was documented celebrating passionately the goal that decided the contest.
The game was characterized by great tension and impressive defensive moves. Football 360 noted during the match, in the 65th minute, that a critical tackle by the defensive players prevented Ghana from an earlier lead. On the other hand, the Iranian sports channel Varzesh 3, known for a coverage style that combines colorful anecdotes from the stands, reported on a "strange movement" by a Ghanaian fan during the match, which it termed as an attempt at "witchcraft" in the stands, something that resonated among the tournament viewers.
Tactically, Varzesh 3 emphasized that for many minutes Panama struggled to produce significant threats, noting that by the 60th minute not one of Panama's players' shots managed to find the opponent's frame. The victory grants Ghana valuable points in the group and solidifies its position in the prestigious tournament.
