For Uzbekistan, regardless of the defeat, it was a historic moment. Fabio Cannavaro’s national team was in fact making its World Cup debut.  Los Cafeteros came flying out of the blocks and came close to scoring several times in the opening half hour. It was only a matter of time before Lorenzo’s side broke the deadlock and, right on the stroke of half-time, Luis Diaz stepped up with a pinpoint assist for Muñoz to make it 1-0. Uzbekistan, however, refused to give in and found an immediate equaliser at the start of the second half through Fayzullaev. The Asians’ joy was short-lived, with Colombia responding straight away to retake the lead just five minutes later. After setting up the first goal, Diaz did it himself this time and beat Yusupov with a low shot.  In stoppage time, the South Americans put the game to bed for good with Campaz heading home for 3-1.  Ghana-Panama 1-0 Ghana got off to a strong start and beat Panama 1-0 at the end of a balanced, hard-fought match decided only in stoppage time. In Toronto, the Black Stars found the winner in the 95th minute thanks to Caleb Yirenkyi, who finished off an assist from Brandon Thomas-Asante and finally broke the Central American side’s resistance. For large stretches of the match, Panama looked the better side in terms of play. Thomas Christiansen’s team managed possession better and created the more dangerous chances, but could not find the decisive breakthrough. Ghana struggled, stayed compact and gradually grew into the game as the minutes passed. The match opened up in the second half, but the score still seemed destined to remain goalless. Just when 0-0 looked inevitable, the moment that changed everything arrived: in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Brandon Thomas-Asante found space on the right and delivered a perfect ball for Yirenkyi, who made no mistake from close range and scored the winner. Ghana are now second in Group L, level on points with England. There was no shortage of good-luck rituals in the stands at Toronto Stadium either. A video of a Ghana fan went viral in which, in his own way, he appeared to call on help from supernatural forces. And what can you say, it worked. But the surprises did not end there. During the match, Uzbek player Khusanov was involved in an incident that went viral within minutes. In trying to stop a Luis Diaz counterattack, the Asian player went in on the Colombian’s legs, but in the collision he also hit the cameraman on the touchline, who was literally knocked over.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
