JAMES NALTON celebrates Ruben Blades’s song Patria – played before Panama’s game against Ghana — a song inspiring hope instead of hate
Aleksandar Mitrovic saved Aboubakar Kamara’s blushes on Saturday, scoring the winning goal in added-on time minutes after Kamara’s missed penalty looked like it had blown Fulham’s chances of winning this clash of the non-titans at the bottom of the league.
Huddersfield suffered their seventh defeat on the bounce, which keeps them rooted at the bottom of the table, five points from safety.
Until the penalty incident in the 83rd minute this game was a lacklustre affair, where it seemed that the teams had decided that the ABC Murders had provided so much entertainment over Christmas that they could provide the post-stuffing lull.
Forward’s rise as the tournament’s leading scorer reflects a journey shaped by heritage and belief as Morocco reach the final, writes JAMES NALTON
