🏁 Post-match review

Croatia defeated Ghana 2-1 in a competitive World Cup group-stage encounter. The Eastern Europeans secured a narrow victory despite Ghana's resilient efforts to find an equalizer.

Expectation：Without pre-match market data or a stated lean, the result cannot be directly benchmarked against expectations. However, a one-goal margin suggests this was a closely contested match rather than a dominant performance by either side.

The win keeps Croatia's World Cup campaign alive with three points, though the narrow margin indicates vulnerabilities. Ghana's loss limits their path to progression and underscores the fine margins at tournament football.

Based on the final score and pre-match analysis (no in-match events).
