Yirenkyi’s goal was the fourth-latest in World Cup history to break a 0-0 deadlock.

Panama came into the match hoping to earn their first-ever point in a World Cup game, and they came very close to leaving the field with a win.

The Central American side was superior for several stretches of the match, but lacked precision in front of goal.

With the result, Ghana drew level with England at the top of the group, trailing on goal difference.

Croatia and Panama face each other in the next round, both looking to get off the mark in the group.
