Yirenkyi's 95th-minute winner sinks Panama in World Cup opener

Yirenkyi, 95th minute, Ghana steal it

Caleb Yirenkyi scored the latest winning goal in World Cup history. Ghana 1–0 Panama in your Group L opener in Toronto, and it came with 30 seconds left in stoppage time (1) (4) (5). Queiroz looked drained afterwards. "I am tired! That was so tough and so intensive," he said. "Wins in this World Cup are very expensive, but my players showed that they are ready to pay high prices for wins" (1). Yirenkyi was not shy after the match either, shouting "Real Madrid, Real Madrid!" into the cameras (2).

Queiroz snaps at Partey question

One reporter asked how Partey's absence changed the tactics and what it did to team morale. Queiroz did not hide his irritation. "You were at the match, weren't you?" he snapped back. "If you were at the match, then I think you saw the answer to your questions. And I think you could ask me better questions. Thank you" (3). Partey missed the game after Canadian authorities denied him a visa. The Ghanaian government has filed a legal challenge in a Canadian court to get him into the country for the tournament.

Semenyo on Guardiola: he taught me a lot

Antoine Semenyo used the post-match moment to credit Pep Guardiola. The Manchester City forward said six months working under Guardiola taught him more than he can put into words (9). He did not score against Panama, but his presence stretched the defence all evening.

England and Croatia up next

Three points on the board, and the group is wide open. England and Croatia play their opener later. Your next match is against Croatia, win that and the knockout stage starts to look real. This was the fixture Ghana had to take, and they took it.
