In the 3rd minute, Jewison Bennette escaped on the left wing and then stretched horizontally to Joel Campbell, the Arsenal striker in the period of 2011-2018, the left-foot striker brought the ball crossed the corner, outside the reach of goalkeeper Oliver Sail.

The only goal of Campbell helped Costa Rica win tickets at the end of the 2022 World Cup, where they entered the table to be considered death with virtue, Spain and Japan. This is the third consecutive time Costa Rica attended the biggest football festival on the planet, after reaching the quarterfinals in Brazil in 2014 and was eliminated from the group stage in Russia in 2018.

In the 11th minute, Alex Greing caught the ground in the penalty area and took the ball away. Four minutes later, Chris Wood cut the tape to the near corner that could not win the keylor Navas - the former goalkeeper Real and now played for PSG. 39 minutes, Wood cushioned into the roof of Costa Rica. But Var invited and rejected the goal, when determining Matthew Garbett made a mistake with Oscar Duarte in the previous situation.
