Croatia confirmed their place in the Round of 32 at the World Cup after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Ghana in Philadelphia. The 2018 runners-up took the lead in the 31st minute through Petar Sucic’s low strike from outside the box. Ghana equalized in the 73rd minute when Derrick Lukasen volleyed home after a free-kick from Ernest Nuamah was reviewed and confirmed by VAR. However, Nikola Vlasic’s header from a Luka Modric corner in the 83rd minute sealed Croatia’s win.
The match saw Croatia dominate possession early, while Ghana improved significantly after halftime, creating sustained pressure. Despite Ghana’s late efforts, including Abdul Fatawu’s missed chance in stoppage time, Croatia held on for victory. The result made Croatia the Group L runners-up with six points from three matches.
In the group’s other match, England beat Panama 2-0 to top the group with seven points. Ghana finished third with four points but advanced as one of the best third-placed teams, while Panama exited the tournament with one point.
