Costa Rica’s Men’s Soccer National Team victory over USA 2-0 last night at the National Stadium in San José, on the 14th and final match day of the Third Round of World Cup Qualifying for Qatar 2022.

According to the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), now Costa Rica advance to the Intercontinental Play-Off versus New Zealand in June in Doha, Qatar.

"Costa Rica were playing with plenty of energy and had the U.S. defense on their toes at moments," said CONCACAF in its statement. " But the first goal belonged to Costa Rica, as Juan Pablo Vargas thumped in a header off a corner kick in the 51’ to give the Ticos a 1-0 lead."

The pace of the match was in Costa Rica’s favor and the Ticos took advantage of confusion in the U.S. defense, with Anthony Contreras turning in a cross to make it a 2-0 affair in the 60’.

The U.S. sought to pull a goal back, but the Costa Rican defense turned the U.S. away at every turn to secure the clean sheet victory and complete a perfect nine-point final window.

Costa Rica will look to become the fourth team from CONCACAF to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar when they face New Zealand in the FIFA World Cup Intercontinental Play-Off on either June 13 or June 14 in Doha, Qatar.

"By virtue of their Fourth-Place finish in the Final Round of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying for Qatar 2022, the Ticos have advanced to the playoff match against the Kiwis, who defeated Solomon Islands, 5-0, on Wednesday to win the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) Qualifying Tournament," they added.
