Croatia and Panama on remedial examination

In a crucial World Cup qualifier match on June 24, 2026, Croatia defeated Panama 1-0 in Toronto. The winning goal was scored by Ante Budimir in the 54th minute after he came on as a substitute. Croatia had struggled earlier in the tournament, losing to England 2-4 in their opening match. Coach Zlatko Dalić made tactical changes at halftime, replacing players in poor form with Andrej Kramarić and Budimir, who both contributed significantly. Panama, despite having more chances in the first half, failed to score and now faces elimination if they lose their next match against Ghana. Goalkeeper Dominik Livaković made a crucial save in the 23rd minute, preventing a potential equalizer. Croatia will face Ghana later in the day for a chance to secure second place in Group L.
