The national teams of Croatia and Ghana are set to clash tonight in their final Group L fixture of the 2026 World Cup. The match in Philadelphia kicks off precisely at midnight.
Should favorites England avoid an unexpected slip-up against underdogs Panama in their simultaneous match, this encounter will serve as a direct battle for second place in the group. Currently, Ghana occupies that spot with four points, while Croatia sits third with three. A draw would undoubtedly secure qualification for the knockout stages for both the "Black Stars" and the "Vatreni." Nevertheless, Luka Modric and his teammates will be aiming for a victory to leapfrog their opponents and potentially avoid a clash with Portugal, should they win Group K.
The Ghanaians began their tournament campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Panama, courtesy of a late goal from Caleb Irenkyi. In their second match, they held England to a goalless draw. The Croatians also secured a 1-0 win against Panama, but not before suffering a 4-2 defeat to the "Three Lions."
