Panama and Croatia supporters filled the streets of downtown Toronto on Tuesday ahead of their World Cup meeting.
Fans from both countries carried giant national flags as they sang, chanted and marched through the city.
Some Croatia fans carried smoke sticks and waved flags above the crowd. Others wore team colours and distinctive headgear.
Across the city centre, the mood remained lively and good-natured as supporters built anticipation before kick-off.
The Group L match carries added importance after Ghana beat Panama 1-0 and England defeated Croatia 4-2 earlier in the competition, leaving both teams with ground to make up.
