Ghana kicked off their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Panama at BMO Field on Wednesday. A stoppage-time winner from Caleb Yirenkyi in the 95th minute secured all three points for the Black Stars in a hard-fought Group L opener.

However, Antoine Semenyo's standout performance earned him a man of the match performance.

The 26-year-old was a constant threat with his pace, direct running, and intelligent movement. He created several promising opportunities, stretched Panama’s defence, and contributed defensively by tracking back tirelessly.

His efforts culminated in the decisive build-up to the winning goal, making him the clear standout in a tough encounter. This was a strong start for Ghana under coach Carlos Queiroz, placing them level on points with England at the top of the group.
