ANALYSIS
Yirenkyi scored the only goal of Wednesday's 1-0 World Cup win over Panama in stoppage time for his first ever World Cup game, stretching to stab home Brandon Thomas-Asante's low cross after Antoine Semenyo had sparked the move down the left, sending Ghana's bench into delirium and sealing a dramatic opening win. He had picked up the only booking of the first half but recovered to deliver the most important contribution of the match, capping a difficult night for Ghana with the moment that mattered most. Yirenkyi's late heroics give Ghana a perfect start in Group L and they will look to build on this momentum in their next group game.
