Ghana crash out of 2026 World Cup after narrow defeat to Colombia
Ghana's journey at the 2026 FIFA World Cup came to an end on Saturday after a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in the Round of 32, with Jhon Arias' first-half strike proving the difference at the Kansas City Stadium.
The Black Stars nearly took the lead within the opening minutes when Thomas Partey's shot drifted narrowly wide. Colombia were forced into an early substitution after striker Jhon Córdoba picked up a groin injury, prompting the introduction of Luis Suárez. Ghana suffered a setback when Marvin Senaya was unable to continue due to a hamstring problem, and Alidu Seidu replaced the right-back before the 15-minute mark. Suárez delivered a cross into the penalty area where Arias guided the ball past Lawrence Ati Zigi in the 14th minute. Luis Díaz came close to extending Colombia's lead, and Ati Zigi made a save just before the break, tipping away Johan Mojica's powerful header.
