According to data account MisterChiping, Ghana's starting goalkeeper Zigi was substituted at halftime in the match against Panama, making him the third goalkeeper in history to be replaced at halftime.
In the history of the FIFA World Cup, there have been only two previous instances of a starting goalkeeper being substituted at halftime: Bulgaria's goalkeeper Borislav Mihaylov was replaced against Sweden in the 1994 third-place play-off, and South Korea's goalkeeper Choi In-young was replaced against Germany in the 1994 group stage.

A strange kind of record to be part of, especially for an injury situation. It shows how rare goalkeeper substitutions at half-time really are, but for Ghana the focus will be more on Zigi’s recovery than the statistic itself. Hopefully he gets back to full fitness quickly and the team can stay stable going forward.
