First Half<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Costa Rica <\/strong>came out with everything in search of the goal; pressed the exit of Canada, <\/strong>and played better the first quarter of an hour. Either way, they did not find clarity to overcome the block of three central defenders Canada <\/strong>uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two headers from Francisco Calvo<\/strong> and one from Celso Borges<\/strong> on set pieces were the clearest options available to Costa Rica <\/strong>in the first half-hour of play.

Canada<\/strong> settled better on the field after overcoming the initial pressure from Los Ticos<\/strong> and began to find spaces for their characteristic vertical attacking game led by the speedy Tajon Buchanan and Richmond Laryea <\/strong>on the wings.

Canada<\/strong> answered in the 32nd minute with a shot from Richie Laryea <\/strong>that missed the post and a minute later, Kaye<\/strong> was sent off for a foul. Before the break, Costa Rica <\/strong>took the lead when Borges<\/strong> headed in a cross from Gerson Torres <\/strong>to give los Ticos<\/strong> hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Half<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Already in the second half, Joel Campbell<\/strong> had the second at minute 52 in a counterattack that he could not score against the goalkeeper, Milan Borjan<\/strong>. The Canadians tried and in the 55th minute, Jonathan David<\/strong> made a shot that Anthony Contreras<\/strong> deflected to save the locals.

The visitors kept looking and at minute 64, Stephen Eustaquio<\/strong> made a shot that went too far and drowned out the goal cry. Campbell<\/strong> had it again at 65′ with a good cross, but his header went over the top.

Little by little in the final part Canada<\/strong> gained possession and arrived dangerously. It was when Keylor Navas<\/strong> became the Costa Rican<\/strong> figure by saving a ball from below in the 73rd minute.

Finally, Canada<\/strong> could not against a very well-formed defense from Costa Rica<\/strong> and with a grown Keylor Navas<\/strong>, the match ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of Los Ticos<\/strong>, which continue to dream of their place in the World Cup<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
