Colombia Edges Ghana 1-0 to Reach World Cup Last 16

Colombia triumphed over Ghana 1-0 on Friday, becoming the final team to qualify for the World Cup last 16. The match took place at Arrowhead Stadium, where Jhon Arriás scored the decisive goal in the 14th minute, following a cross from substitute Luis Suárez.

Colombia dominated the game, registering eight shots on target and completing 319 passes, while Ghana struggled offensively, failing to record a single shot on target throughout the match. Ghana's Thomas Partey had a chance early on but missed the target.

Both teams had to make substitutions due to injuries, with Jhon Córdoba replacing Suárez after he pulled a groin muscle. Despite Colombia's control of the game, they missed several opportunities to extend their lead, including a disallowed goal from Luis Díaz and a powerful shot from Juan Quintero that went wide.

Díaz was named man of the match, acknowledging the need for improved composure in front of goal.
