Ghana lost 2-1 to Croatia but had already booked their place in the round of 32 at the World Cup before kick-off.
Petar Sucic and Nikola Vlasic scored either side of a Derrick Luckassen strike for Ghana, who finished in third place in the pool.
Here are SuperSport’s Ghana player ratings from the game:
Benjamin Asare (6): Beaten twice after two clean sheets in the tournament before this, he also made several decent saves. Not his best day, but not his worst either.
Marvin Senaya (5): Croatia found some joy on his side as he won a little over half of his duels and had just one of seven accurate passes in the final third.
Jonas Adjetey (6): The centre-back played the first 45 minutes before being replaced by Kojo Peprah.
Derrick Luckassen (8): The centre-back scored the goal for Ghana and also won five of his six duels. He had 13 progressive carries as he looked to get forward with the ball.
Ghana's goal is an emotional rollercoaster 🤯

Gideon Mensah (7): A solid enough outing from the left-back as he had four interceptions, three clearances and two recoveries. Looked to get forward when he could.
Thomas Partey (6): Used as the screen in front of the back four again, he did OK but had one error that led to a big chance for Croatia. Was accurate with his passes and had 19 progressive carries.
Antoine Semenyo (6): Not his best game as he battled to get into the contest. Missed a big chance for Ghana to get more from the game and was also caught offside a couple of times.
Elisha Owusu (6): Did not have enough of an effect on the game and was hauled off at halftime, replaced by Issahaku Fatawu.
Kwasi Sibo (6): Neat and tidy as he usually is, he had a 95 per cent passing accuracy but might have been more threatening with the ball at his feet.
Kamaldeen Sulemana (5): Brought into the side to add some attacking threat on the left, he failed to provide that and was out of the game for most of the 71 minutes he was on the pitch.
Jordan Ayew (5): Quiet up front with only 15 touches in his time on the pitch, winning none of his duels. Ghana needed a bit more energy up front and this will be a big question for coach Carlos Queiroz ahead of the knockout round.
Issahaku Fatawu (7): Created a big chance for Ghana after coming on at halftime and had a couple of shots himself. Looked lively and threatening.
Kojo Peprah (6): Came on at the break and was solid enough at the back but did not win either of his duels.
Brandon Thomas-Asante (5): Came on for Ayew after 71 minutes but only touched the ball three times in the game. Needed to get involved more.
Ernest Nuamah (7): Came on for Sulemana and provided the assist for the goal, and created another big chance for Ghana. A superb cameo that suggests he should start in the round of 32.
Caleb Yirenkyi came on as a substitute but did not play long enough for a rating.
