The United States and Costa Rica have reached the world cup semifinals with identical records, which means that Mexico could qualify on goal differential, but Costa Rica will need to beat the USNMT in the intercontinental play-off to qualify for the world cup. Both teams have played a game in the group stage, but Costa Rica won all three to advance. The tiebreakers for each group were goal difference, goals scored and most points earned.Los Ticos' qualifying campaign on life supportThe country's men's national team had to absorb a lot of pressure from early on in the qualifying process and did so with ease. Costa Rica had never beaten any of their rivals, conceding just seven goals during the qualifying process. They did, however, beat the US and Mexico and reached Brazil 2014 with relative ease. Their most established player, Bryan Ruiz, spent a season on loan at PSV Eindhoven and is set to provide some key support to the team's veteran-laden squad. Meanwhile, Joel Campbell, an Arsenal-owned midfielder, will be on the bench.
Christian Pulisic's first USMNT hat-trick
The United States' team was under a lot of pressure going into the game following a series of suspensions, injuries and illnesses. Defeating Costa Rica in the last round of the qualifying process is a major boost to the team's confidence and motivation, but it was never going to be easy. In the 17th minute, Pulisic opened the scoring on a penalty kick. The United States added two more goals in stoppage time, with Christian Pulisic's second coming from a penalty kick. The third goal came from a close range header by Jesus Ferreira, a third from the penalty spot.
Los Ticos' defensive display against United States
After a poor first half display against the USA, Costa Rica's defense held strong and earned a 2-1 win. The Ticos have now qualified for the World Cup in their first World Cup since 2002. While they were outplayed in the first half, the Ticos remained goal-threatening throughout the match. A howler from the USMNT in the 51st minute led to Costa Rica's second goal.
Los Ticos' qualification chances against United States
A six-goal victory over the US on Wednesday will be crucial for the Costa Rican national team to qualify for World Cup 2022. With the United States just a booking away from a playoff spot, Costa Rica believes it has enough quality to beat the US in a close match. They will rest key players and approach the match as a stepping stone to the playoff.Source : كوره اون لاين
