Sparks stoppage-time winning goal
Semenyo generated two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 win versus Panama.
Analysis: Semenyo was at the heart of Ghana's improved second-half performance, sparking the winning move in stoppage time by releasing Brandon Thomas-Asante down the left, whose low cross was eventually forced over the line by Caleb Yirenkyi for a dramatic 1-0 win over Panama. He helped transform Ghana's attack after a poor first half in which the team failed to register a shot until the 45th minute, with his movement and link-up play key to Ghana's territorial improvement after the break. Semenyo's influence on the winning goal underlines his importance to Ghana's attack as they look to build on this opening win in their next group match against England on June 23.
Ready for World Cup
Semenyo is headed to the World Cup for Ghana, where he should be a constant in the starting XI.
Analysis: Semenyo is headed to the second World Cup of his career, but he played only 19 minutes in Qatar. This is expected to be a far larger role for the winger, who has ascended to be one of the top wide attackers in Europe. He heads to the World Cup in line to be one of the most important parts of the Ghana attack, with 17 goals and four assists in the Premier League this season.
