Costa Rica has taken the World Cup campaign under-20, eliminating the local squad from 0 to 2. Egypt, which ranked first in its group, fought against the worst third in the tournament (you know, advantages of being the organizer). The Egyptians began besieging the goal of Stephen Allen, but the Costa Rican goalkeeper endured attacks by the local offensive. Undeservedly, Costa Rica was found with a goal on a play to pieces. Diego Estrada, the most lucid of the Red fleet, launched a focused receiver that found in the testa of Jose Mena, who slid the ball to put the first account.

From there, Costa Rica played with the desperation of his rival, who turned in front for an equalizer. By little and get the Egyptians through Afrotan matched, but Alvarado drowned the cry of the fans with an impressive flight. Tica behind stoic behaved, and the Central American team found its reward in the twilight of the meeting. At 88 ', Marco Urena led a counterattack across the meadow right to make final figures to the marker (0 - 2) and destroy the heart of a nation who saw his dream vanished in World beyond.

With this victory, Costa Rica became the single champion of CONCACAF to reach the quarterfinals, and one of the two Latin Americans are looking for the trophy. Now, the Ticos face the UAE team, whose ranks highlights the multi-talented Ahmed Khalil.
