Stanišić's Croatia edge Panama

Bayern's Josip Stanišić provided the assist with a cross for Ante Budimir to tap in the only goal of the game as Croatia edged Panama in Toronto on Luka Modrić 200th international appearance. Hoffenheim's Andrej Kramarić played the second half, but Hamburg's Luka Vušković remained an unused substitute as Croatia keep their fate in their own hands, while Panama are out with a game remaining.
