Colombia defeated Ghana 1-0 in the final World Cup 2026 round of 32 encounter on Friday, with Arias' first-half strike providing the crucial breakthrough after Luis Suarez's introduction. The Cafeteros controlled large periods and created numerous chances but failed to add to their advantage. Ghana remained well-organised and disciplined, with Lawrence Ati-Zigi making several saves to keep his side competitive.
Cafeteros' progression caps an impressive unbeaten group stage campaign that saw them top Group K. The Cafeteros will face Switzerland on Tuesday as genuine contenders. Ghana's campaign ends in disappointment, unable to convert their chances despite a committed defensive display.
