After matchday 1 in Group L, Panama and Croatia sit with zero points in the group after the two teams lost last week.
Panama lost 1-0 to Ghana in additional time at Toronto Stadium, and Croatia suffered a 4-2 loss at Dallas Stadium in one of the games of the tournament so far.
The two teams need a win to aspire to reaching the knockout stages, and a loss for either team would likely be the end of their 2026 World Cup. The match has high stakes for both teams, who will look to equal England or Ghana on points.
