The story · Group stage

Panama lost 1-0 to Ghana on a goal conceded in the 95th minute and then 1-0 to Croatia. Already eliminated, it resisted England for more than an hour before conceding goals to Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane in a 2-0 defeat. Last in Group L without a point, Panama scored no goals and conceded four. Despite that record, it never lost by more than two and kept every match open for a long period.

From the tournament notebook

Ante Budimir scored the only goal in Croatia–Panama, the result that officially eliminated Panama.
