Ante Budimir scored in the 54th minute to give Croatia a 1-0 win over Panama in Toronto on Tuesday, keeping alive Croatia’s hopes of a third straight World Cup semifinal appearance, according to Yahoo Sports. Budimir, 34, finished Josip Stanišić’s cross after coming on at halftime, and goalkeeper Dominik Livaković made key second-half saves as Panama, which lost its opener to Ghana, was left facing a final group match Saturday against England.
After England tied Ghana earlier Tuesday, England and Ghana each had four points and Croatia had three; Croatia can finish second in Group L with a win over Ghana.
