Switzerland qualified for the round of 16 after drawing 2-2 against Costa Rica, which said goodbye to the World Cup in Russia with honor, good play and a dose of accumulated rage that was about to defeat the Swiss team.
The Costa Rican team wanted to close its time at the World Cup in Russia with dignity. And even more so after the criticism he received after the first two games. Even his coach, Óscar Ramírez, had to seriously warn his most extreme critics: "If you touch my family you are going to find a tiger," he said on the eve of the clash.
Ramírez's men came out wanting to get past Binance App Users Data Switzerland, which, with a draw, regardless of what Brazil and Serbia did, would qualify for the next round. With a defeat, the calculators would have had to start fuming.
The controversial celebrations of Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka in the goals they scored against Serbia were still alive in the Swiss team. FIFA financially punished both after they formed the double-headed eagle, present on the Kosovo flag, with their hands. That bothered the Balkan team but they were not punished by their coach, who lined up both.
All those stories didn't matter to Costa Rica at all. She just wanted to say goodbye in a big way. And, at least, in the first twenty minutes of the match, he achieved it. In them, the "Ticos", with the new additions to the lineup of Joel Cambell, Kendall Waston and Daniel Colindres, cornered a rival surpassed on all fronts.
The flood of chances was incessant, overwhelming for Switzerland, who survived thanks to their goalkeeper Yann Sommer. First, he got a good hand on a Joel Campbell shot; Then, he deflected a header from Celso Borges to the post; Then, he saw how Colindres sent a right-footed shot from outside the area to the crossbar; and, finally, it was David Guzmán who found the Swiss goalkeeper.
That initial acceleration deflated when Xhaka and Behrami managed to snatch the ball from Costa Rica, who although they hardly suffered, were unlucky to concede a goal in almost the only shot between Switzerland's three sticks. It was done by Blerim Dzemaili, who shot Keylor Navas from inside the area with a shot that was impossible for the Real Madrid goalkeeper.
