Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has declared that the Black Stars are prepared to “prove a point” when they face England in a crucial FIFA World Cup Group L encounter on June 23.
The confidence comes after Ghana secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Panama in Toronto, thanks to a stoppage-time strike from Caleb Yirenkyi. Despite spending much of the match under pressure, the Black Stars showed resilience and discipline to claim all three points.
Panama dominated possession for long periods and created several dangerous opportunities, forcing Ghana to remain compact defensively. Semenyo acknowledged that his side struggled to find their rhythm early in the contest but revealed that tactical adjustments helped improve their pressing and midfield balance as the game progressed.
Describing the winning goal as a “game of moments,” the Bournemouth forward praised his teammates for staying focused and capitalizing on a rare opportunity when it mattered most.
The victory lifts Ghana to second place in Group L behind England, setting the stage for a highly anticipated showdown between the two nations. With both teams aiming to strengthen their chances of reaching the knockout stage, Semenyo believes the Black Stars are ready to rise to the occasion and demonstrate their quality on the world stage.
The clash against England is expected to be one of the standout fixtures of the group phase, with Ghana eager to build on their momentum and secure another positive result.
