Ghana Edges Panama 1-0; Colombia Tops Uzbekistan 3-1

In a World Cup group stage match held in Toronto on Wednesday, Ghana secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Panama, with Caleb Yirenkyi scoring the decisive goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time. The match saw Ghanaian fans celebrate as their team triumphed despite not attempting a shot on goal in the first half.
Panama's Cecilio Waterman had an early chance but was unable to convert. Ghana's coach, Carlo Queiroz, who took charge of the team a couple of months prior, made history by becoming the second coach to lead five consecutive World Cups.
In another match, Colombia defeated Uzbekistan 3-1 at Estadio Azteca, with Lui Diaz playing a pivotal role by providing an assist and scoring a goal. The match featured a total of 80,824 spectators, and Diaz's performance helped Colombia take the lead after Uzbekistan had equalized.
