Final score: Croatia 2 — 1 Ghana
Date: Saturday, June 27, 2026
Venue: Lincoln Financial Field
Stage: Group Stage
Croatia edged Ghana 2–1 — the kind of single-goal result that defines knockout-football paths.
Croatia takes 3 points and the inside track on group qualification. Ghana now needs a positive result in matchday 2 to keep top-2 hopes alive — and probably needs to win matchday 3 outright.
