Former Arsenal player Campbell struck from the first chance of the match. He ran into the middle of the young Bennette’s center and sent the ball to the far post from the volley. New Zealand was significantly more dangerous for the rest of the first half, although FIFA is 70 places worse than the Central American team. In the 39th minute, Wood took advantage of the dominance, but the referee, after consulting with the video, called off his goal due to a previous foul.

Costa Rican coach Luis Suárez made three line-up changes at the beginning of the second act, and the game leveled off after the break. In addition, the “All Whites” effort was complicated twenty minutes before the end by the alternating Barbarouses, who was eliminated after a sharp slide. Despite the weakening, New Zealand developed further chances, but did not reach the historically third participation in the world championship.
