The numbers, however, paint a more nuanced first half. Croatia had the ball with 43% possession and tried their luck more often, with 0 shots to Ghana’s 0. In the decisive area, the shots-on-target count is 0 for Croatia and 0 for Ghana.
First-half highlights
- Goal – P. Sucic (assist M. Kovacic) (Croatia, 31st)
Croatia must confirm
With this one-goal lead, Croatia can go into the second half in a favorable position. The challenge now will be to hold on to that advantage without dropping too deep, while taking advantage of the spaces Ghana will have to leave as they look to get back into the match.
Ghana under pressure
For Ghana, the break must be used to correct what was missing in the final actions. Possession or volume will not be enough if the chances do not become clearer.
