Costa Rica checkmate Japan with a single shot!

Japan and Costa Rica meet in Group E of the 2022 World Cup. Costa Rica won the match at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium 1-0 and continued their tour of hope before the third match.

Japan, who came from behind and beat Germany 2-1 in the first game, looked very ineffective in the first half of this game. In the second half, the Japanese, who were effective in attacking, missed the last hit. Costa Rica, who was able to score their first shot in the World Cup in the 35th minute of the second game, was able to score their first shot in the 81st minute and found the goal.

Fuller’s elegant shot from the penalty area line, although goalkeeper Gonda came up and intervened with her fingertips, she could not prevent the goal. While Costa Rica lived a great joy after the goal, Japan missed the great advantage.

After this result, while Japan stayed at 3 points, Costa Rica, which ate 7 from Spain in the first game, also rose to 3 points.

On the last day of the group, Japan-Spain and Costa Rica-Germany will be played.
