Tactical analysis

Expect a cagey opening 20 minutes as both teams manage high competitive pressure. Ghana is likely to hold more possession but struggle to penetrate, given their 0.6 GFA. Panama will likely look for transition opportunities, where they have been clinical. A goal window is projected between the 35th and 60th minutes; if Panama scores first, Ghana's recent defensive fragility (2.2 GAA) suggests they may struggle to recover without overextending.
