Group E of the Qatar 2022 World Cup starts this Wednesday, November 23, and has as its stellar match the clash between Spain vs. Costa Rica, two teams characterized by having called up a new group of young players for the most important tournament in the king of sports.
This match will be refereed by Mohammed Abdullah Hassan Mohamed, and, in the absence of the official lineups, an important fact is the history between both teams.
Spain and Costa Rica have faced each other on three occasions and, to the surprise of many, all of them were friendly matches. The results favor La Roja, who have managed to win on two occasions, precisely in 2015 and 2017.
