The 2026 World Cup Round of 32 concludes Friday night with Colombia taking on Ghana in Kansas City at 9:30 p.m. ET. Colombia advanced to the knockout stage as the Group K winner, while Ghana took a more difficult route by qualifying as one of the tournament’s eight best third-place teams.
Colombia opened its 2026 World Cup campaign with a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan before grinding out two tightly contested matches to close the group stage – a 1-0 victory over Congo DR followed by a scoreless draw against Portugal. Both opponents also advanced from Group K. Daniel Muñoz leads Colombia with two goals, while Luis Díaz has remained a constant attacking threat with a team-high 11 shots. Goalkeeper Camilo Vargas has also been outstanding, allowing just one goal, which came in the tournament opener.
Despite scoring only two goals through three matches and not showing much offensively to suggest a deep tournament run, Ghana found a way to advance with a 1-1-1 record during the group stage, highlighted by a scoreless draw against Harry Kane and England. Ghana also received excellent goalkeeping from Benjamin Asare after he replaced Lawrence Ati Zigi at halftime of the opener against Panama because of a groin injury. However, Asare allowed two goals against Croatia in Ghana’s group-stage finale, raising questions about whether he should remain the team’s starting goalkeeper moving forward.
