Match Updates
Fulltime - What a display by Costa Rica, they are going to the Knockouts, beaten former champs in two consecutive games. Knocked out England from the group, another former champ
Italy will play Uruguay for the second qualification berth on 24th at Natal
01:30: Brenes has a go from outside the box, it's just wide of the right post
01:30: Cerci's corner meets the feet of Cassano, but he could only kick it wide
01:24: Urena is loose, the defenders are trying to get him, Chiellini manages to block his shot
This half is mostly a midfield battle. Less clear chances
01:20: Substitution - The goalscorer Ruiz is being replaced by Brenes
01:14: Substitution - Campbell is being taken off, replaced by Urena
01:11: Yellow Card - Cubero is booked for not stopping play on whistle
01:09: Substitution - Marchisio leaves the pitch, Cerci replaces him
01:09: Yellow Card - Balotelli is booked for taking down a defender in the box
01:08: Substitution Tejeda is taken off, Cubero comes in for Costa Rica
00:59: Counter attack, Bolanos is free. Buffon come out of his box to kick it away. the Costa Rican was offside anyway

Halftime - Spectacular display from Costa Rica, they are the true stars of this group
00:44: Goal - Great cross from Diaz, Brian Ruiz heads it in. Goalline technology confirms it. What an effort by the captain
00:43: Campbell is in the box, Chiellini takes him down, penalty not given, controversy. Chiellini would have been sent off of the penalty was given, he was obstructing a goalscoring opportunity
00:42: Another chance for Costa Rica, Duarte just puts it over
00:41: Diaz crosses it in, Campbell lurking, defense forces him to put it wide
Italy are looking a bit settled now but Costa Rica are not withholding anything at all

00:31: Balotelli is away from defense and is onside, but he miscues it away from both the goal and keeper. Pirlo is the one who setup Super Mario
