Colombia vs Ghana Stats, Match Statistics, xG & Player Data
(Kansas City)
Colombia vs Ghana stats start with a Round of 32 match at Kansas City Stadium, where the Colombia national football team face the Ghana national football team on 3 July 2026. Colombia bring the stronger public tournament profile in xG, shots, possession, chance creation, goals against, and clean sheets. Ghana still carry a knockout threat because their compact group-stage run included a scoreless draw with England.
Colombia World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a Group K winner that beat Uzbekistan and DR Congo before drawing with Portugal. Ghana World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a Group L third-place qualifier that beat Panama, drew England, and lost narrowly to Croatia. The World Cup 2026 Round of 32 bracket closes this phase with a first senior meeting.
The match is listed for 9:30 PM ET at Kansas City Stadium, which is 01:30 UTC on 4 July. It also belongs in the World Cup 2026 stats and records tracker because FOX public data gives Colombia one of the widest shot-volume advantages in the Round of 32. Full match stats should replace these pre-match averages after the official feed closes.
Colombia vs Ghana Stats – Match Statistics Overview
Colombia enter with the stronger statistical base before kickoff. FOX lists Colombia at 1.3 goals, 1.2 xG, 20.3 shots, 70% average possession, and 12.7 chances created per game. Those numbers show a team that has controlled territory and produced repeatable pressure.
Ghana’s public tournament data points to a lower-volume route. FOX lists Ghana at 0.7 goals, 0.6 xG, 5.3 shots, 39% average possession, and 3.7 chances created per game. Their path depends on defensive spacing, set pieces, and selective breaks into Colombia’s back line.

Attacking Stats Comparison
Colombia have the larger attacking base. Daniel Munoz leads the FOX player data with two goals, while Luis Diaz leads their assists and shots-on-goal markers. Jhon Arias also leads Colombia’s xG marker at 0.7, so their threat comes from wide and central routes.
Ghana have produced less volume but still carry individual danger. Caleb Yirenkyi leads their goals and xG markers, while Brandon Thomas-Asante leads their assists marker. Antoine Semenyo appears as their shots-on-goal leader, which gives Ghana one transition outlet if Colombia push numbers forward.
| Attack Stat | Colombia | Ghana |

Defensive Stats Comparison
Colombia have the cleaner defensive record in the public tournament data. FOX lists Colombia at 0.3 goals against per game, and Camilo Vargas appears with two clean sheets. That defensive base lets Colombia sustain pressure without conceding many clear chances.
Ghana have also stayed competitive through defensive discipline. FOX lists Ghana at 0.7 goals against per game, with Lawrence Ati Zigi on a 33 keeper-save percentage marker. Ghana need that goalkeeper line because Colombia average 20.3 shots per game.

Passing and Possession Analysis
The possession comparison strongly favours Colombia. FOX lists Colombia at 70% average possession and Ghana at 39%, so the card converts those separate averages into a 64-36 trend share. That view shows Colombia’s likely control without treating different group opponents as identical.
Chance creation widens the same gap. Colombia average 12.7 chances created per game, while Ghana average 3.7. Ghana can still frustrate the match, yet they need cleaner first passes because Colombia should spend long spells in their half.
| Passing Stat | Colombia | Ghana |
|---|---|---|
| Average Possession | 70% | 39% |
| Card Possession Share | 64% | 36% |
| Chances Created Avg | 12.7 | 3.7 |

Key Player Statistics
Munoz, Diaz, Arias, and Vargas give Colombia a balanced public player profile. Munoz leads the goals line, Diaz leads shots on goal and assists, Arias leads xG, and Vargas anchors the clean-sheet record. That spread explains why Colombia’s pressure has not depended on one player.
Ghana need Yirenkyi, Thomas-Asante, Semenyo, and Ati Zigi to stretch the game. Yirenkyi leads their goal and xG markers, while Ati Zigi’s goalkeeper line may decide how long Ghana stay level. If Ghana survive the first half, their transition threat becomes more valuable.
| Player | Team | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| Daniel Munoz | Colombia | 2 goals in FOX leaders |
| Luis Diaz | Colombia | 1 assist, 4 shots on goal |
| Camilo Vargas | Colombia | 2 clean sheets, 0.3 team goals against |
| Caleb Yirenkyi | Ghana | 1 goal, 0.8 xG |
| Brandon Thomas-Asante | Ghana | 1 assist in FOX leaders |
| Lawrence Ati Zigi | Ghana | 33% keeper-save marker, 1 clean sheet |
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison gives Colombia a clear edge. FOX lists Colombia at 1.2 xG per game and Ghana at 0.6 xG per game. Colombia also take 15.0 more shots per game, so their pressure looks more repeatable.
Ghana’s best statistical argument comes from efficiency and resistance. Their 13% conversion calculation beats Colombia’s 6%, but it comes from far fewer attempts. The full-time update should separate open-play xG, set-play xG, shot locations, goalkeeper saves, and blocked shots once the official feed closes.
