But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Tiago Gabriel Mendes couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Real Brasil F.C. booed when Costa Rica was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 9 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alexander Carballo didn't get a good kick on the ball.

In the 26th minute Abel Rosado shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benito Sanz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 33rd minute, Costa Rica's Alexander Carballo seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Alexander Carballo the red card, dismissing him from the pitch.

The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 33rd minute of the game. One of Costa Rica:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Real Brasil F.C.:s goal.

52 minutes into the match, Real Brasil F.C.'s goalkeeper Nilton Marinho had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Eliseo Noboa.

Costa Rica's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.
