Costa Rica and New Zealand faced off on Tuesday at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium for the intercontinental playoff of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, a match that decided the last team to qualify for the World Cup.
Costa Rica, led by Luis Fernando Suárez, took an early lead when Joel Campbell scored in the 3rd minute. That goal allowed the 'ticos' to better apply a defensive resistance plan, as New Zealand attacked to equalize.
