Colombia topped Group K with seven points, ahead of Portugal. Ghana advanced as one of eight third-place teams from Group L, finishing behind England and Croatia. Ghana's coach, Carlos Queiroz, a Portuguese national, previously managed Colombia from 2019 to 2020 and was making his fifth World Cup appearance as a coach.

The match saw an early goal from Colombia in the 14th minute. Luis Suarez, who replaced an injured Jhon Cordoba early on, set up Jhon Arias for the opening goal. Colombia controlled the game thereafter, with Ghana unable to seriously threaten Colombia's goal. Luis Diaz had a second-half goal disallowed for offside, and Ghana's goalkeeper, Lawrence Ati Zigi, made seven saves to keep the scoreline close.

Ghana finished the match without a single shot on target, a feat also seen by Austria against Spain. Their elimination means only two of the nine African teams that reached the Round of 32 will compete in the Round of 16: Morocco and Egypt, both of whom advanced via penalty shootouts. DR Congo, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Algeria, and South Africa were also eliminated in this round. Colombia is set to face Switzerland next.
