TORONTO - Caleb Yirenkyi scored deep into stoppage time to earn Ghana a 1-0 victory over Panama in World Cup Group L on Wednesday, earning the African side a crucial three points in their bid to reach the knockout stage for the first time since 2010.
Yirenkyi’s goal came in the 95th minute after Thomas-Asante skipped past Panama defender Jose Cordoba and played a pass into the area, which the 20-year-old Yirenkyi bundled home. Panama threw everyone forward for a late free kick in a desperate attempt to get an equaliser, but Ghana hung on.
