00:00Only played 30 minutes as a sub in group play so Costa Rica with injuries with the yellow card accumulation
00:05They've had to make some changes to their group. How will it all come together?
00:09For Los Ticos and Miguel Herrera who took charge of this Costa Rican side back in my final remains
00:16It'll belong to one of these two teams after 90 minutes
00:18Where he became one of the favorite players of Mauricio Pochettino in the first half a winner or a shootout
00:23Long early for Diego Luna and put away by one Pablo Vargas
00:28Late offside flag comes up as well
00:31Moments like this I'll cost they're battling with Freeman
00:34Richards looking along
00:36Luna almost gets there
00:39Looked up over the top for Tillman. He had three go hovering right around 50% possession in each game the US
00:46Berhalter from the corner squared back in by Hachitina
00:51Arfston squares it back
00:53Had him for a half an hour against Saudi Arabia now fully fit and healthy my final on a goal and stoppage time in the second half
00:59Dangerous ball back you more up step over blocked by Arfston
01:04Vargas goes down awkwardly and the referee gives a penalty
01:07Seemed like the players that both sort of slip Francisco Calvo scores
01:16Los Ticos strike first
01:19Clumsy bit of defending from Max Arfston
01:42Francisco Calvo his counterpart the other left back on the other side of the field is the one who steps up to take it
01:50In the end he placed it perfectly and he had to freeze guessed correctly oh and he got a piece of it
01:56Couldn't quite make that out initially
01:58No Tori
02:02Arfston trying to make amends floating it from the back in delivering comes all the way through for Freeman slight like had visions of the United States Canada
02:12on this
02:14Feeds it through for Tillman Tillman looking for Luna, Delatorre to the end line floating it to Luna went for the scissor
02:20And then two lost the United States
02:31Verhalter
02:33Tillman back for
02:34Ajiman to the end line going for goal hits the post stays out tough angle trying to make the most of it
02:40Navas seem to have it covered the near post just in cake
02:43Fed that way part of me that's Alejandro Braun stepping into it Braun goes for goal goal kick
02:50He lays it off trying from distance here rocketed Ajiman back for Tillman Malik Tillman end line feeding it through
03:04Freeman works it back to bear halter puts it wide take it away
03:11Penalty
03:13So the United States now in the 35th minute will have an opportunity to level from the spot after they went down on a penalty back in the 12th minute
03:24up 1-0
03:27Malik Tillman off the post
03:29Arfston keeps it alive Arfston goes for goal and it's touched away by Navas
03:35Oh the post that eyes Tillman then Navas denies Arfston it remains 1-0 Costa Rica and now tempers are flaring
03:43It comes out for Luna for a hit
03:49It'll spin in drain to the ground Reem looking for it Ajiman battling still there for Ajiman
03:54Did it take a deflection yes a third consecutive corner now for the United States
04:01Brandon Aguilera feeding it toward the back pole Verhalter once again from the corner good service to
04:05header from Ajiman goes wide Max Arfston now squaring it back for Luna Diego Luna deflected in
04:13Diego Luna getting it done for the United States all level again in Minneapolis
04:17The pressure had been mounting
04:31and eventually
04:33You got the sense that something was going to break the United States way and they catch a big break here on that deflection
04:39To be fair from that angle it was struck well the U.S. score on the deflection
04:45Now we head towards stoppage time told it'll be five minutes
04:49Sent through to Freeman space oh wrong way for Ajiman
04:56Aguilera feeding it in behind looking for Alcocer through Verhalter
05:00Along for Ajiman Patrick Ajiman minutes 20 seconds of the five minutes of stoppage time come and gone floated in
05:06The United States beat Costa Rica
05:10Malik Tillman feeds it along Arfston goes for goal and scores
05:15Max Arfston putting the United States on top making amends for his earlier error conceding the penalty now the man of the hour
05:29It's his first goal for his country
05:42For a young player who's finding his way the clumsy challenge he had in the first half that led to Costa Rica's penalty
05:51Again they go this one played in low
05:54Berhalter whips it in Richard saved by Navas rebound loose off the bar
05:59It's his first goal
06:00Keylor Navas with another outstanding save in the long line of his
06:05successes for Costa Rica
06:07Time and again and the world cup next year back to the action now
06:12Oh, at least but Ajiman puts it through here's Arfston clipping back post off the bar
06:20Came off the bar then off the defender out of play for a corner
06:24Another fight corner flag it stayed in rolled back for Luna
06:30Berhalter off of Richards
06:35Angled ahead for Ajiman
06:38Ajiman
06:40Luna Patrick Ajiman deflected rainbowing over the bar
06:44Another chance for Berhalter on the service good ball in Richards there
06:54Second time that that combination is worked out on a free kick
06:59Some point they have to be more aggressive
07:00Down a goal
07:02Tournament loss
07:02Saved by Freese rebound loose set in front the leveler for Costa Rica
07:07Alonso Martinez answering the call
07:12At some point you knew Alonso Martinez would find an opportunity
07:27Against his teammate the goalkeeper Matt Freese those two played together for club
07:34And it's Alonso Martinez who will
07:36Rejoin his teammate in a couple weeks time with
07:38Created the last goal for Costa Rica
07:40Is there another one here feeding it through
07:42In the corner headed away by Ajiman
07:44Heading back in Freese tracking
07:47Try from distance here Freese makes the save
07:50And it stays
