TORONTO, June 23 : Croatia's match-winner Ante Budimir rejoiced in their 1-0 victory against Panama at the World Cup and hoped they would learn the right lessons as they stayed in contention to progress.
Halftime substitute Ante Budimir scored in the 54th minute and Croatia eliminated Panama from World Cup contention with a tightly fought 1-0 victory in a Group L clash at Toronto on Tuesday. It was the first World Cup goal for Budimir, 34, and fifth in a competitive fixture for his country, all of those coming since 2023. Croatia (1-1-0, 3 points) remain third in the group heading into the final matchday, but they can guarantee a top-two finish with a victory over Ghana in their final match on Saturday in Philadelphia. Panama (0-2-0, 0 points) are still seeking their first point five matches into their World Cup history, having also lost 1-0 to Ghana in their 2026 opener in Toronto last week. However, despite playing the first two matches without injured talisman Adalberto Carrasquilla, Los Canaleros have a goal differential six better than at this stage in their first World Cup appearance in 2018. Budimir put Croatia in front on what was easily their best attack of the match to that point. Josip Stanisic combined with Marco Pasalic to get down the right, then struck a well-weighted cross to the top of the 6-yard box. Panama goalkeeper Orlando Mosquera dove to try and intercept the service but couldn’t reach it, and Budimir showed up at the back post to guide in a composed finish into an open goal. With that, the match erupted for about 15 minutes. Three minutes after the goal, Croatia captain Luka Modric played Pasalic in alone on goal from his own half. Mosquera sized up Pasalic and charged from his line at the right time to smother the initial attempt, and Pasalic fired wide from a poor angle on the rebound. Panama responded to force Dominik Livakovic into three stops inside of a minute.
