Ghana’s World Cup dream ends as Arias fires Colombia into last 16

Luis Díaz came close to doubling the advantage when he fired wide from an excellent position, while Ghana goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi kept his side in the contest with an outstanding save just before half-time, pushing away Johan Mojica's powerful header from Daniel Muñoz's cross.

Antoine Semenyo produced the Black Stars' best attacking moment of the second half, bursting into a dangerous position before driving a low cross across the face of goal.

In the end, Arias' first-half strike proved decisive as Colombia secured a narrow victory to progress to the last 16, where they will face Switzerland.
