Ghana beat Panama 1-0 thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time goal from Caleb Yirenkyi, who smoothly finished a cross from Brandon Thomas-Asante.
The late breakthrough settled a game that had very few clear scoring opportunities for either side.
Ghana moves even with England on points at the top of Group L at World Cup 2026.
