The Costa Rican national team drew 0-0 in their visit to Guatemala to play against the bicolor at the Doroteo Guamuch Flores Stadium.
The match was not very exciting. During the first half, Claudio Vivas’ team had the chance that came closest to a dangerous play.
The same was put together by striker Joel Campbell, who found Jefferson Brenes and in a set piece action they were responsible for the play that produced the most intensity.
Despite being the home team, the Guatemalan national team did not have a fluid encounter against the Ticos, they were erratic, and on their occasions they lacked the correct connection.
Costa Rica made important changes to what was planned the previous week against Guadalupe, the main changes were on offense with the entry of Manfred Ugalde as a starter, and Warren Madrigal.
The Spartak Moscow striker did not have an ideal performance, firstly due to the pressure exerted by the Guatemalans, and also because he did not find a partner in the attack.
The 25,000 fans who attended the Doroteo Guamuch Flores stadium were left wanting to see a more exciting match.
With this draw, the Costa Rican national team continues to lead Group A of the Nations League. The Ticos have four points, the same as Guatemala, but with a positive goal difference.
Costa Rica’s next match will be on October 10 against Suriname, away from home, while Guatemala will travel to Costa Rican soil three days later.
