Ghana Snatch Late Drama to Down Panama in Toronto
A 95th-minute goal from 20-year-old Caleb Yirenkyi gave Ghana a 1-0 victory over Panama in a tense Group L opener in Toronto.
It was the latest winning goal of the 2026 World Cup so far, and it came from one of the tournament's youngest scorers. According to Sky Sports, Caleb Yirenkyi, just 20 years old, netted deep into stoppage time to settle a tight Group L clash between Ghana and Panama in Toronto.
The goal followed a lively second half in which Coventry City forward Brandon Thomas-Asante came off the bench and injected urgency into Ghana's play, ultimately setting up the decisive moment for Yirenkyi. Panama had their own chances, with a Martinez effort finding only the side-netting.
Carlos Queiroz's Ghana side now share Group L with England, setting up a mouth-watering clash between the two sides on Tuesday night. Ghana supporters celebrated wildly in the streets after the final whistle.
