Croatia beat Panama 1-0 in a tight, cagey affair which keeps their 2026 FIFA World Cup alive ahead of their final match vs Ghana. Panama, meanwhile, have been eliminated from contention to make the knockouts after two straight 0-1 losses.
Ante Budimir was the hero of the day, the second half substitute tapping in a lovely Josip Stanisic cross at the far post. Croatia held on as Panama poured forward at the end.
In the early Group L game, England were held by a stubborn Ghana, and now both those sides are on four points.
