France, June 18 -- The strike came deep into second half stoppage time and decided a game at the Toronto Stadium that Panama initially dominated before Ghana found their rhythm.

Yirenkyi's winner finished off a counterattack following Panama's push for a late decider.

But their move broke down and Brandon Thomas-Asante charged forward along the left wing and teed up Yirenkyi who scrambled the ball into the net.

"It's what we've practising during our preparations for the tournament," said the 20-year-old who was voted the 2025/26 young player of the year in the Danish top flight.

"Scoring the goal is positive," he added. "But not just for me. There's great support around the team for the young players." Goal sparks celebrations
