The atmosphere at KNUST Lienda Ville reached fever pitch on Wednesday night as thousands of football-loving Ghanaians gathered for Lawson Media’s World Cup Live Match Screening to cheer the Black Stars to a dramatic victory over Panama.
Although fans were treated to earlier fixtures involving Portugal and DR Congo as well as England and Croatia, all eyes and hearts were firmly fixed on Ghana’s much-anticipated clash against Panama.
With kick-off set for 11:00 pm Ghana time, supporters packed the Lienda Ville venue in their numbers, creating a sea of red, gold and green as they rallied behind Otto Addo’s men. The turnout was massive, with well over a thousand fans turning up to experience the game together.
The opening half, however, tested the nerves of the Ghanaian faithful. Panama looked the more composed side and enjoyed the better of possession, but despite their dominance, they failed to create any clear-cut opportunities to trouble the Black Stars.
Ghana emerged from the break looking transformed.
The Black Stars found their rhythm in the second half, taking control of the contest and pushing relentlessly in search of the decisive breakthrough. Every attack was met with deafening cheers from the crowd, who refused to stop believing that their heroes would find a way.
Just when it appeared the game was heading for a frustrating draw, the moment Ghanaians had prayed for finally arrived.
Deep into stoppage time, in the 90+4th minute, Caleb Yirenkyi rose to the occasion to score the winning goal for Ghana, sending the packed Lienda Ville venue into absolute chaos.
Fans erupted into wild celebrations. Strangers embraced, others jumped in excitement, while chants of support for the Black Stars echoed throughout the night. The jubilations intensified after the final whistle confirmed Ghana’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Panama.
It was a moment that perfectly captured the passion and unity football brings to Ghanaians.
Adding colour to the memorable occasion were Lawson Media’s Head of Sports and renowned sports presenter, King Eben, popular content creator and Wontumi TV morning show host Oheneba Nana Asiedu, alongside other personalities who joined supporters to cheer the Black Stars to victory.
