Costa Rica and New Zealand battle it out for the final remaining spot at this year's World Cup in Qatar.

When the Costa Rica national anthem began to play, I couldn’t hold back tears of joy – that’s how much it means, especially on the World Cup stage,” he said. Thousands of Costa Rican fans have descended on to the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium to cheer for their national team. Since the opening goal, it’s been New Zealand who have been doing the most attacking. Wood is a New Zealand’s all-time top scorer with 33 goals under his belt. Bell picked out the New Zealand dangerman Wood who fires a composed shot on target. New Zealand have had 63% ball possession so far and five shots at goal. Campbell swings it in but Tuiloma produces a good clearance to avert the danger for New Zealand. Costa Rica will hope for a better attacking display after they only had one shot in the opening 45 minutes. Apart from the goals column, New Zealand have been better according to the other metrics. Even though he conceded in the third minute, New Zealand keeper Oli Sail has seen little of the ball with only one of Costa Rica’s two shots being on target. Costa Rica lead at the break after a good start but this contest is far from over. Costa Rican fans are drowning out any cheering Kiwis who are simply outnumbered.
