Panama – Kroatien Highlights FIFA WM 2026 | Sportschau

On the second matchday, Panama and Croatia, both Group L teams that had lost their opening games, faced off. A draw in the parallel match between Ghana and England would have eliminated the loser of this encounter. The Croatians lived up to their favorites' tag from the outset, taking control of the game.

At the start of the second half, Ante Budimir finally broke the deadlock for Croatia, converting a cross to give them the lead.
