Game just started..

I like Costa Rica´s jersey.. real nice shirt..

Minute 8, Tejada had a shot blocked by the CRican Keeper.. nothing came of the corner..

Panama putting pressure in the last 2-3 minutes.. Phillips had a good oppurtunity he shot wide though

lots a play in the midfield..

GOAAAAAAL de Panama!!

Yellow for Mendez (CR) could have been a red card according to the replay..

uneccesary foul by Fonseca.. should have been booked..

HT

Panama 1 - 0 Costa Rica

only one minute was given as extra time.

good half for both teams..

Have to say that Costa Rica has looked better in the midfield, both teams with chance to score but overall both back lines have done well..

if it wasnt for the goal, I would have had Costa Rica with the advantage in the first half..

you could tell they were frustrated in the final minutes.

Second half started..

Panama playing a lot more defensively.. and doing a good job at the back line.

Good chance for CR, free kick on the right slide.. slightly in the middle

Soliz.. direct kick.. blocked by Penedo..

7th SH

Yellow card for a CRican player (Number4) after dragging Rivera from behind on the counterattack..

edit: card was for Umana...

someone fromthe CR technical staff got expelled.. dunno why..

Costa Rica with a Shot blocked by Pened and then off the post.. unlucky for them

Tejada is subbed out..22nd minute

Rodriguez out, Hernandez in for CR 23rd minute

Panama controlling the game for the last few minutes..

27th minute

two different shots by Panama... one blocked by a defender, the other by the keeper
