Croatia took control of Group L with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Ghana in the FIFA World Cup 2026. Andrej Kramaric's clinical finish and Ivan Perisic's powerful strike in the second half gave Croatia a vital two-goal cushion. However, Ghana's Thomas Partey grabbed a consolation goal in injury time, but it was too little too late for the Black Stars as they remain three points adrift at the bottom of the table.
